When I walk alone, it's like I walk with a thousand people, but when I walk with a thousand people, it's like I walk alone. -Me


Doomed to die a daring death
Different from deceit
Forced to take a final breath
When life was incomplete
Packed bags and left the city
Wound up on the street
Lost from days when life was pretty
But she won’t admit defeat

Followed a rugged road
Footprints in the sand
No looking back
She might have a heart attack
Stumbled a drunken foe
Dealt another hand
Well I can tell you one thing
She’ll never make it home

Walls of insincerity
Streets are flooding fast
She has some demons yet to meet
Locked out from her past
Took her chances
Struck her gold
A curse that’s yet untold
And as she swallows all the silence
Her regrets begin to grow
Well now she knows

Followed a rugged road
Footprints in the sand
No looking back
She might have a heart attack
Stumbled a drunken foe
Dealt another hand
Well I can tell you one thing
She’ll never make it

Never make it out alive
Shark attack on Channel 5
Close the shutters
Live your lies
It’s easier to hide your eyes
Masquerade a crude disguise
It won’t put out the flames
Inside

Followed a rugged road
Footprints in the sand
No looking back
She might have a heart attack
Stumbled a drunken foe
Dealt another hand
Well I can tell you one thing
She’ll never make it home

Oh no
Well I can tell you one thing
She’ll never make it home

This song was inspired by a book called Tricks by Ellen Hopkins about teens who wound up living on the streets stuggling to survive. The strength of few can overcome the tyrrany of many. Just remember that.
