Another gone nothing gained
Souls lost to sunset
Because dawn never came
Say it again
Another gone nothing gained
Souls lost to sunset
Because dawn never came
[Verse 1]
I represent the lonely runners in the street making moves and keeping tabs on that low so what you need?
This is Portland Rip city
But you ain't ripping sh** off me
You got a dollar?
No? you got a shred of decency?
Cuz if you wanna see the things I've seen
You've picked a decent seat
Don't you look down
Stop dehumanizing me
I haven't eaten much today
And I haven't slept in 3
But I'm hyper aware of my environment
So get on my frequency
I see a city and its burning but it rains most every day and I see children acting grown up cuz grown ups got locked away
I see chilling sights of souls who've come far and lost their way
Because their vice of choice was handed
With no advice or love in that way
All alone in cold they shoot up or smoke to try and escape
And the problem it is overflowing though it doesn't feel that way
No plan to where they are going
Just questions they can't take
Should I take the Max today?
Or throw myself in front of the train?

[Verse 2]
I represent those called crazy or those labeled ill repute
I'm here to ask you beyond blankets and clothing what can you do?
Voices speak to me at night about walls closing in on you
They are legion and they aren't leaving me with much choice to see this through
I need meds they say but those make me itchy and sad
And the food banks will give me groceries if I give them an address
But time takes its toll and I just know there's poison and pathogens
In the food they feed me and the pills and needles
And I'm out of chances
Man sits at the brink of evolutionary cusp
But I get paranoid and confused and don't know who to trust
And it may be easy for those with family or those with luxury
But I have neither now
Just me and the voices so I guess I'll be punished
I'm at your bus stops and corners just asking for bucks
And my case isn't every case but resonates with a bunch
So remember that next time you have a mimosa with brunch
I beg for change but rest a**ured
I ain't asking for much
