Sam Zircon - In Their Shoes lyrics
[Verse 1] I stand alone on this cold night shivering The wind brushes by like a ghost cry whistling Teen guys bicker as a cheap fights finished spending each night kipping in the streets mind crippling Out in the rough broke street lights flickering I'm rowdy and drunk and I'm pleading my innocence The people I love see me as an invalid I'm sick of it and i can't get a job to get rid of this I didn't opt for a hard life I guess the path i chose was a dark side to my scarred mind I've watched the years pa** by with these beers I've cried for my peers that have died in these streets Bare feet fiends weep, conscience pleads, but my addiction is screaming feed me I'm seen as a freak and greedy My neighbours are enemies I believe in the demon deeply My dreams have deceived me now i'm nothing sitting on this curb side clutching To d** for the feeling of love man I'm clucking for something to hug me and feed me some comfort I wonder, when it was when I went wrong In school I was head strong No home in this life I never dreamt of No hope in this life I never dreamt of [Chorus] When life gets bad and its tough We need a helping hand from above but sometimes that hand it don't come so keep your head up when your out in the rough When life gets bad and its tough We need a helping hand from above but sometimes that hand it don't come so keep your head up when your out in the rough [Verse 2] One morning I was woken by sunlight I'd been having a couple of rough nights having trouble for sometime with some guys I had a puffy and bust eye from some drunk fight over d** I, didn't feel like living anymore I was sick of being poor and kipping on the floor, it was raw and then a stranger walked past He must of felt the pain in my heart because he gave me a chance He said that he owned a business, and his business once turn him from rags to riches He knew about the homeless because his dad was a victim And had a mad addiction to skag for a living He said he lost him to the rancid system Someone stabbed and kicked him in his sleeping bag and binned him And since he's planned it different Said he wanted to help a man off the ground and fix him Give them the chance that his dad never had I went back to his pad and met his family and that I worked my fingers to the bone and brought a cheap flat Got off the drink and the d** through rehab Man I'm proud I've become someone from down in the dumps and surrounded by d** to a guy with a house and a son That's why you keep your head up when your out in the rough [Chorus]
