Lyrics
Moving Slowly I catch the glances
I try to hide in this city alone
But I see no future and I can?t remember
What it feels like to have a home
Chorus
How can you blame me
If I want relief
I spent a lifetime already
Right here in home base
Begging for and picking through trash cans
Washing windows to survive
In this life that I crawl through slowly
Shadows, cover my eyes
Chorus
Break
That cardboard box is my new living room,
Now would you take my place.
You can?t bear to look me in the eye,
So you walk away.
You?ve got good intentions, home safe in your bed
But you won?t change my life that way no!
So tell where can I go to find the answer
So many people here, what?s to blame?
Another cold night with no room left in the shelter
I?m caught in this death trap all the same
