The Vagrant

We need a match
 We need a fire
 We need a spark
 We need desire
 Diluting everything
 Rinse and repeat rinse and repeat
 'Til it runs clear
 Drown in mediocrity
 Gasping for some fresh air
 I've been trying
 To shake the tree
 But everyone
 Rather let it be
 We've lived our lives
 On our knees
 I'm just trying to stand
 On my two feet
 There's no future in the past
 The safety in the crowd
 Brings warmth that cannot last
 Stay steady as you slip
 On footsteps you retread
 Feet planted, tilt your head
 Feet planted, tilt your head
 Tell everyone
 Drowning for fun
 Give up the gun
 And savor the sun
 I've been trying
 Just to shake the tree
 But everyone
 Rather let it be
 We've lived our lives
 On our knees
 I'm just trying to stand
 On my two feet
 Tell everyone
 Drowning for fun
 Give up the gun
 Savor the sun
