Still Here

The Sound of No-Face Music
You drew a line and caught in my limit
I took one step and walked right through it
Cold coffee waiting by the courthouse there
One phone left, but nobody there
I learned who stayed when the rent came
Who kept the word when the room went
I don't keep score
I remember the facts
A hand on my shoulder, a knife in my back
I built from scraps on the borrowed floor
Turned one small chance into something more
You can keep praise, keep the college split
I know what they care if you get here today
No mask, no mask
You can't erase that
No crown, no claim
I can't get the same
Still here
Still here nomad nomad nomad nomad
I'm still here
Still here
Don't ask what it cost
You weren't in that room
Counting the hours beside a box to move
One chip mug, and the coat on the chair
That was the whole world
I had to repair
Some call your family when the table is full
So manage quick when the winter turns cruel
I let them go without making a scene
I close doors, I listen, not a prophecy
If the floor drops out, I know how to land
I've had less than this and still made a plan
Take every label
Take every key
You can't take the part that remembers me
No money
We'll manage
No place
We'll make one
No name
I know mine
No man
No man
No man
No man
You can't erase that
You can't erase that
No crown
No plane
No crown
No plane
I came back saying
Still here
Still here
Still here
No man
No man away
Watch tall years rearrange the names
If tomorrow takes what
I rebuild, I'll stop with what
I know and make it real
Start again
I know the way
Start again
I'm not afraid
No mask
No mask
No mask
No mask
No vanish
Still here
Still here
Still here
