Kerouac - A Bastard Behind The Eyes lyrics

hope in our hearts but hate in our lungs, stuck on repeat our words, we become, we're heavy handed poets, reciting verses that could bleed into one. O' I'll smile all across this line but I'm terrified of forever and you'll watch me fail all along this line we call time, but you pride yourself on righteousness. I've not yet felt how I'm supposed to feel about where my life is going, and how I can learn from my mistakes, it's just a work in progress, the promise I made, the excuse I gave, the damage is done.
