about

I wrote this song after visiting the homeless camps in the woods. We filmed an outreach video for Pathways drop in center, which is a place of respite for the mentally ill homeless.

lyrics

A Little More

Verse
my roof a canopy of of trees
front door a life goes on open road
like fear the cold runs thru me
from the floor of a vinyl tent tomb
Like a frayed life line i unravel
Lucid thoughts become fewer every day
And hope starts to fade away

I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
In my life
I want a little more
I need a little more
Deserve a little more
from this life

Just like you Im not perfect
I know ive made mistakes along the way
But does that make me deserving
of this hell that i face
the difference between us
is closer than you might think
road to nowhere is lined with
good souls who lost their way
When the light starts to fade to grey

Chorus
I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
In my life
I want a little more
I need a little more
Deserve a little more
from this life

I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
of my life\
I want a little more
I need a little more
I deserve a little more
From this life

Bridge
~IM a doctor, im a teacher, im a veteran, Im a saint
Im your son, your father, Im your grandmother who prays to God everyday
Im not a user, not a abuser, not a quiter or a fake
Surly not deserving of this fate

Chorus

The places I come from
you pretend to know
And life starts to fade away.
