lyrics

C, F, C, E
Am, F, C, E

The place that I grew up was on fucking stolen land
And so is the place where I practice with my bands
I'm adopted so there's no way for me to claim a thing
Where the fuck do I belong, where the fuck should I be?

When I was young I saw my last name on a house
And now I'm sleeping in a van or on a person's couch
I got a roof over my head but no foundations here
I'm a homeless, not a houseless youth, the weather I don't fear

They told me that that perpetual motion is a hoax
So why the fuck do I keep moving does anybody know
If I stop my thoughts they too will cease and I become a shell
A stable life it seems to me a stationary hell

Where's the place for a person like me to exist?
I'm Cherokee and Japanese and white as fucking bread
But you cut me up and I bleed red the same color as you
But that blood, it's been so long, it doesn't ring as true

Maybe if I keep on going I will find a place
That takes me in with open arms and makes me want to stay
Maybe I'm just young and dumb and don't want what I seek
Cuz maybe a commitment takes longer than a week

No, I'll just keep on traveling and playing my guitar
And I'll keep seeing crazy things in places near and far
Maybe where I live is in my mind and in my eyes
A homeless, not a houseless kid, I'll live until I die
