I grew up on the corner of loved and alone
Poppa used to hitchhike, Momma built a home
Brother was a stonewall, I was on my own
Lost boy trying to navigate a catacomb
The son of a reverend with blood of a sinner
Cracks in linoleum, TV dinner
Felt like a loser in a game with no winner
Head above water and I ain't a strong swimmer
We are born of impossible odds
We are jars of stardust working hourly jobs
Latchkey children of a blasé God
Trying to find our way amongst a heartless mob
And I am nowhere
Nowhere to be found
I'm a nowhere neighbor in a nowhere town
I started nowhere and I'm nowhere now
But I vow
I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't vanish into thin air
On my knees reciting the Lord's Prayer
Die on that hill and nobody'll care
If you die climbing Everest your corpse is still there
Literally, frozen in time, gets no older
Why I'm always snow blind to a cold shoulder
Got a real problem with closure
Every year I start my five-year plan over
And it's a hell of a thing
Bored with reflections of your identical twin
Let the suffering in, let the suffering in
Every chain gang still feel the sun on their skin
We are made of pleasure, we are made of pain
We are made of a desert, we are made of rain, yeah
Some things you find that you just can't change
No point pouring bleach on a permanent stain
'Cause it won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I won't fade away
I am nowhere
Nowhere to be found
I'm a nowhere neighbor in a nowhere town
I started nowhere and I'm nowhere now
I am nowhere, to be found
