Barstool Warrior

In a dark and lonely corner
 Of a time-worn dockside inn
 Sits the local barstool warrior
 Talking to his gin
 Tracing past decisions
 He motions for a shot
 Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
 Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
 Call it bad luck
 Call it fate
 Call it stuck here the rest of my days
 Serves me right
 What went wrong?
 And where do I belong?
 In the glow of flashing lights
 On the shoulder of the road
 Clutching at the bruises on her skin
 She tries to signal danger
 With anguish in her eyes
 Will he see the world of pain she's in?
 Or is it too late?
 Was it bad luck?
 Was it fate?
 Or a past that she couldn't escape?
 It's not right
 Something's wrong
 Just where do I belong?
 ♪
 Promises made
 Crying in vain
 All empty
 Never accepting the blame
 And not letting go of the shame
 A river of tears
 As months turn to years
 All wasted
 On someone not willing to change
 Now only a shadow remains
 No one can save you
 And there's no one to save
 It has been written
 You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream
 Now I'm cutting the anchor away
 And I won't look back
 I'm starting a new life today

 Now I see where I belong
