a hobo's lament...

broke beat & busted

i’m broke, beat and busted,
no one i know can be trusted.
bet things are gonna get nasty,
might as well die or get wasted.

death and dirt, they never lie;
if you’re garbage on God’s Earth,
you never get to say goodbye,
your truth is never ever heard.

i shot them all entirely dead,
my self-defense, it was a lie;
no sick old conscience is all bad,
i didn’t want to see them die.

i’m broke, beat and busted,
i’m used to it, I can take it.
they shouldn’t have insulted
the Lord and expect to make it.

should not have crossed a hobo’s path,
should not have tied me with cable,
should not have done it for laughs,
should not have pissed on my Bible.

ways of the heart are brutal and dark,
you can’t rely on them to get by.
don’t really know, I may still walk,
nobody knows what I hide.

i’m broke, beat and busted,
no one i know can be trusted.
bet things are gonna get nasty,
might as well die or get wasted.

When the lights go out, my mind clocks in
Clock In (Eyes Closed) is a confessional late-night track about that exact moment you start falling asleep and the pressure hits all at once
This is Track 1 from the concept series The Night Shift in My Mind

If you want a slightly punchier version:
A song about the moment you fall asleep and your brain starts working overtime
Clock In (Eyes Closed) is Track 1 from The Night Shift in My Mind

Don't Let Me Let You Go

Or I could go around weeping
