Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song shortly after moving to Shanghai, away from my girlfriend, friends and family in Miami.

Song Description

Homeless is about feeling disconnected from your friends, your family, familiarity, and most of all yourself. The song takes the listener on a day in the life of someone feeling homeless, even through an actual encounter with someone who is in fact homel

Lyrics

Put back the sun
Turn off all the lights beside my bed
I shift around
searching for a time inside my head
But there's nothing in this damp and dusty mind but empty picture frames
I choose to walk the city streets instead
back past the places all my friends would recognize my face
but not I'm not alive and I'm not dead
No I can't feel love
No I can't feel love
No I can't feel love again

The city calls
even lonely ghosts got bills to pay
Go underground
riding next to beggars on the train
So persistently he takes a knee
the beggar begs, the beggar pleads
until he sees my eyes as if he knows
I can poor my life into his cup
never will I fill it up
it's easy to feed a man but not his soul
Oh I can't feel love
no I can't feel love
no I can't feel love again

Oh look it's the stupid fool
Hey mom look it's the stupid fool who cried
there goes the stupid fool
everybody knows the stupid fool he died
The stupid fool is always on his knees
the stupid fool is always on his knees
the stupid fool is always beggin' please
please
please
I'm begging you please

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here I'm all alone
Don't walk on by
Don't pass me by
Don't leave me here to die alone

No I can't feel love
No I can't feel love
Cuz I'm still in love
With you
