Bonn Smith - The Corner lyrics

I put my hand to the ground Where my body can be found Around 3am at the corner of sin Just recently drowned By alcohol, a few double highballs Just enough to help me forget what I Can never seem to forget A little money please? Just something to ease These voices in my head oh Everything I say is what they've said Don't you understand? We come from a different land? Not by choice but by circumstances I was born into this, you had endless chances CHORUS If I had one wish I'd ask to turn back time To when my mommy was on the corner And my daddy drove by I'd ask to cut his brakes So he'd fly on by Because no life is better Than one born into mine Being nine and alone Watching your mom overdose It kind of makes you want to Run away from home Which is what I call this corner Where I now lay my hand Oh still that boy, still that boy Stuck inside a man Well I try to rise above Break these chains of habit from my life But those feel good moments Only happen in the night When I'd have one last hit Oh, just one last taste It's the constant reminder That I can never leave this place So I, call up the captain Please bring me my wine He says, "Son I ain't no captain, and you ain't looking too fine" So I close my eyes and I wait for the end Turns out my chemical addiction was my only enemy It was my only enemy, but my only friend CHORUS
