[Intro]
Boots on glass
Breath so fast
Backpack light
Heartbeat brass (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Kick in the door of a burnt-out store
Cans in the bag, then I’m back on the floor
Shuffle through shelves for a half-dead light
Last one left still scared of the night
Knife in the belt, rust on the blade
Hands still shake but I move, I raid
Talk to myself like a late-night show
“If it’s me or them then they gotta go”
[Chorus]
I’m an ordinary soul in a savage land
Bloody little map folded in my hand
Eat what I find, sleep where I can stand
Just a scavenger heart with a stupid plan
Yeah I’m cracked, but I’m still not dead
Stitches in my sleeve, duct-taped my head
If the world wants war, let it paint me red
I’m an ordinary soul that refused that bed (wake up)
[Verse 2]
Found one can, label half torn off
Bet it tastes like rust, still I twist that top
Count my rounds like they count my sins
Every last shell worth two more wins
Graffiti on the wall says “hope is fake”
But the joke’s on them ‘cause I still wake
Trash bag coat when the cold wind bites
Turning busted malls into candlelight
[Chorus]
I’m an ordinary soul in a savage land
Bloody little map folded in my hand
Eat what I find, sleep where I can stand
Just a scavenger heart with a stupid plan
Yeah I’m cracked, but I’m still not dead
Stitches in my sleeve, duct-taped my head
If the world wants war, let it paint me red
I’m an ordinary soul that refused that bed (still here)
[Bridge]
Shopping cart throne on the broken road
Push my life in a rattling load
Every dented can, every found old knife
Ain’t much glory, but it’s still my life
[Chorus]
I’m an ordinary soul in a savage land
Bloody little map folded in my hand
Eat what I find, sleep where I can stand
Just a scavenger heart with a stupid plan
Yeah I’m cracked, but I’m still not dead
Stitches in my sleeve, duct-taped my head
If the world wants war, let it paint me red
I’m an ordinary soul that refused that bed (won’t quit)
