I was born inside a small town
I've lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house
But stopped at the age of nine
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
The paving stones I played upon
They kept me on the grind
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
Friends and family filled with envy
When they should be filled with pride
And when the world's against me
Is when I really come alive
And every day that Satan tempts me
I try to take it in my stride
You know that I've got whisky
With white lies and smoke in my lungs
I think life has got to the point
I know without it's no fun
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become
Guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me
Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
Showed me the locked doors
I find another use for the key
And you'll see

I'm well aware of certain things
That can destroy a man like me
But with that said give me one more, higher
Another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain

I used to think that nothing could be better
Than touring the world with my songs
I chased the picture perfect life
I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
Because you're living your dream
Man, this shit should be fun
Please know that I'm not trying to preach
Like I'm Reverend Run
I beg you, don't be disappointed
With the man I've become
Our conversations with my father on the A14
Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams
Now I'm playing for the people, Dad, and they know me
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud
And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed
The world may be filled with hate
But keep erasing it now
Somehow

I'm well aware of certain things
That will befall a man like me
But with that said give me one more, higher
Another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain

Welcome to the new show
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
But my heart will stay the same
Welcome to the new show
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
My pain, eraser

And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain
