I was born inside a small townI’ve lost that state of mindLearned to sing inside the Lord’s houseBut stopped at the age of nineI forget when I get awards now the wave I had to rideThe paving stones I played uponThey kept me on the grindSo blame it on the pain that blessed me with the lifeFriends and family filled with envyWhen they should be filled with prideAnd when the world’s against meIs when I really come aliveAnd every day that Satan tempts meI try to take it in my strideYou know that I’ve got whiskyWith white lies and smoke in my lungsI think life has got to the pointI know without it’s no funI need to get in the right mind and clear myself upInstead, I look in the mirror questioning what I’ve becomeGuess it’s a stereotypical day for someone like meWithout a nine-to-five job or a uni degreeTo be caught up in the trappings of the industryShowed me the locked doorsI find another use for the keyAnd you’ll seeI’m well aware of certain thingsThat can destroy a man like meBut with that said give me one more, higherAnother one to take the sting awayI am happy on my own, so here I’ll staySave your lovin’ arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserI used to think that nothing could be betterThan touring the world with my songsI chased the picture perfect lifeI think they painted it wrongI think that money is the root of evil and fame is hellRelationships and hearts you fixed, they break as wellAnd ain’t nobody wanna see you down in the dumpsBecause you’re living your dreamMan, this shit should be funPlease know that I’m not trying to preachLike I’m Reverend RunI beg you, don’t be disappointedWith the man I’ve becomeOur conversations with my father on the A14Age twelve telling me I’ve gotta chase those dreamsNow I’m playing for the people, Dad, and they know meWith my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeansWembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thouI may have grown up but I hope that Damien’s proudAnd to the next generation, inspiration’s allowedThe world may be filled with hateBut keep erasing it nowSomehowI’m well aware of certain thingsThat will befall a man like meBut with that said give me one more, higherAnother one to take the sting awayI am happy on my own, so here I’ll staySave your lovin’ arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserWelcome to the new showI guess you know I’ve been awayBut where I’m heading, who knowsBut my heart will stay the sameWelcome to the new showI guess you know I’ve been awayBut where I’m heading, who knowsMy pain, eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraser
