Pilgrim Lyrics - Day One - Sarah Slean

I'm a pilgrim like you 

I was only passing through 

You'll never know my name 

You'll never walk in my shoes 

I've been no use to my friends 

I've been no use to myself 

Now I'm looking for proof that I ain't someone else 

I was too afraid to read the newspaper 

Working in the basement of a skyscraper 

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name 

Oh no 

I'm not here to feel the bones of some forgotten saint 

I know who I am, and I know who you ain't 

Spent fifteen days in solitary confinement 

Digging a hole in the wall 

There's no escape, they said you need realignment 

Now you're praying for help but they don't hear you call

I was too afraid to read the newspaper 

Working in the basement of a skyscraper 

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name 

Oh no 

Destination, I don't care 

I know I'll get there when I'm there 

There's only one thing on my mind 

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine 

My shoes have kicked up dust from here to somewhere else 

Is this wanderlust 

Or running from myself? 

My neck was in the noose, but now I've been cut loose 

And put out to graze in delicate pastures 

Now I'm waiting for someone to put me to use 

Photos 

I hope it's clear as crystal 

That the man with the pistol 

Is calling all the shots these days 

Now I'll be on my way, oh 

The self-fulfilling prophets 

They been lining their pockets 

And telling me that it's alright 

But I just don't buy it 

Oh no 

Destination, I don't care 

I know I'll get there when I'm there 

There's only one thing on my mind 

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine 

Destination, I don't care 

I know I'll get there when I'm there 

There's only one thing on my mind 

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine
