A Way Back Home

Parallels

Too Many Faces

[Verse 1]
What did I do to make you turn away?
Was I too loud, too weird, too in the way?
Did my voice sound wrong? Did I cry too much?
Did you flinch at the thought of a daughter's touch?

You were the storm I couldn’t outrun
Your love was a war i never won
Mama wore perfume like a mask
Dad just drank and didn’t ask
Why I carved poems in my lunchbox tin
Why I screamed at mirrors just to let something in

[Pre-Chorus]
I learned not to knock
I learned not to speak
You taught me love was
Quiet and weak

[Chorus]
What did I do?
Was I born just to bruise?
To grow up in shoes
That never felt used
I looked up for years just to be overlooked
Wrote my name in ash where no one else looked
But I needed you —
So what did I do?

[Verse 2]
I watched your shadows stretch through the hall
Tried to be good, tried to be small
I bit my tongue, I broke my skin
Waited for love that never came in

Was I just wrong from the very start?
Did you see a crack where there was just heart?
You taught me shame like it was my name
A crown of thorns wrapped in your blame

[Pre-Chorus]
But someone saw past
The wreck you left me
Found a flame in the wreckage
And set it free

[Bridge]
Rain sang me lullabies molded from truth
Grizzle gave me love that lit up my youth
They held my hurt like it had worth
Made me feel chosen, not just cursed

They didn’t flinch at the mess I was
They called me brilliant, not just because
They saw me —the spark i tried to conceal 
And gave me a place to finally feel

[Final Chorus]
What did I do?
I survived all of you
I bled but i grew
I built something true
No thanks to the ones who turned away
I found my love and I made it stay
You gave me nothing…
But I made it through




What Did I Do?

[Verse 1]
I ain't got a mortgage — I got mold in the vents,
I ain't payin' rent — I'm just crashin' events.
No lawn to mow, just a patch full of trash,
Where the raccoons fight and the seagulls clash.
Call it rock bottom — I call it a throne,
In my four-wheel palace of rust and bone.


Got duct-tape windows and a milk crate chair,
Shower once a month when the rain feels fair.
I got socks that crunch and bread that bites,
And a calendar made outta Burger King kites.
Eat beans from a can with a Swiss Army key,
Got a squirrel in the dash that keeps starin' at me.
My bed’s just foam with a cigarette burn,
And I’m readin’ old maps like I’m waitin’ my turn.

[Hook]
I’m livin’ in a van down by the river,
Cold beans, loud thoughts, and a three-day shiver!
Ain’t got much, but I’m still that sliver
Of hope in the mud that’ll never wither! 

[Verse 2]
Cops roll by like I’m toxic waste,
But I smile real wide with my toothpaste face.
Neighbors? Nah, just ghosts and fog,
And a homeless preacher with a taxidermy dog.
Got a cup full of coins and a jar of ash,
And a dream I wrote on a Waffle House nap.
Sometimes I sing to the river rats’ choir,
And they harmonize back like they’re breathin’ fire.

[Bridge – lower, almost tender]
I used to chase rent, used to chase worth,
Now I just chase ducks and the smell of earth.
No screens, no scenes, no fake-ass news,
Just the wind and a pack of expired booze.

[Hook]
I’m livin’ in a van down by the river,
Got mold in my soul, but I’m still a giver!
Redford’s wild, but the water's a mirror—
Shows me a face that’s gettin’ clearer.

[Verse 3]
The city forgot me, the system too,
But the moon don't judge and the sky stays true.
I ain’t lookin’ for pity or a place to crash—
I am the crash, with a stash of trash.
I write haikus in grease on my back door glass,
And scream at the stars till the visions pass.
If life’s a joke, then I’m the punchline’s spark—
Smell like hell but I shine in the dark.

[Outro]
Don’t need a driveway. Don’t need a plan.
Just four bald tires... and two dirty hands.
So if you ever feel low, like you’re startin’ to rot...
Just remember ol’ Scraggs… gave it all he got.

"Enough" reflects the journey of someone who is ready to walk away from an agreement that fails to meet their expectations. The lyrics convey feelings of frustration and disappointment, capturing the internal struggle of wanting more while facing the reality of unmet needs. With a poignant melody, the chorus expresses a powerful sense of self-worth, as the person recognises their breaking point and ultimately decides that enough is enough.
