nowhere, to be found

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
