Eraser
[Verse 1]I was born inside a small town, I've lost that state of mindLearned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nineI forget when I get awards now the wave I had to rideThe paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grindSo blame it on the pain that blessed me with the lifeFriends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with prideAnd when the world's against me is when I really come aliveAnd everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my strideYou know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungsI think life has got to the point I 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 becomeI guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like meWithout a nine-to-five job or an uni degreeTo be caught up in the trappings of the industryShow me the locked doors I’ll find another use for the key, and you’ll seeAnd you'll see
[Chorus 1]I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like meBut with that said give me one moreAnother 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 pain eraser
[Verse 2]I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songsI chased the pictured perfect life, I 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 dream, man, this shit should be funPlease know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend RunI beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've becomeCconversations 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 beaten 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 hate but keep erasing it nowSomehow
[Chorus 2]I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like meBut with that said give me one more, higherAnother one to take the sting awayI am not beyond my own, so here I'll staySave your lovin arms for a rainy dayAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
[Bridge]Welcome 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 eraser
[Hook]And I'll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
