The Corner Lyrics - Singles - Bonn Smith

I put my hand to the ground 

Where my body can be found 

Around 3am at the corner of sin 

Just recently drowned 

By alcohol, a few double highballs 

Just enough to help me forget what I 

Can never seem to forget 

A little money please? 

Just something to ease 

These voices in my head oh 

Everything I say is what they've said 

Don't you understand? 

We come from a different land? 

Not by choice but by circumstances 

I was born into this, you had endless chances 

CHORUS 

If I had one wish 

I'd ask to turn back time 

To when my mommy was on the corner 

And my daddy drove by 

I'd ask to cut his brakes 

So he'd fly on by 

Because no life is better 

Than one born into mine 

Being nine and alone 

Watching your mom overdose 

It kind of makes you want to 

Run away from home 

Which is what I call this corner 

Where I now lay my hand 

Oh still that boy, still that boy 

Stuck inside a man 

Well I try to rise above 

Break these chains of habit from my life 

But those feel good moments 

Only happen in the night 

When I'd have one last hit 

Oh, just one last taste 

It's the constant reminder 

That I can never leave this place 

So I, call up the captain 

Please bring me my wine 

He says, "Son I ain't no captain, 

and you ain't looking too fine" 

So I close my eyes and I wait for the end 

Turns out my chemical addiction was my only enemy 

It was my only enemy, but my only friend 

CHORUS
