Trash Man

Once I heard somebody say: Why don't you just die?
Since that day, this grievous question rumbles in my mind

You can hate me… You can love me, but cannot drive my life
Listen to the words I sing now as I clean out my heart

I will change my future picking up the things once I gave away
I'm carving a new self, reaping all the shadows of my past

You can't see what's in your face... Your precious garbage is insane
What you despise makes me alive... I am the Trash Man

I will change my future reaping all the shadows of my past
I'm carving a new self, picking up the crumbs, scars, shards and lies

While you live a proper life, your petty existence, I obey my random fate that you deem inconsequence
You love to rate your conscience so clear, but does this count if you don't use it?
I do prefer an endless puzzle as I may shuffle and piece my world

You say nobody can live someone else's life
So why do you live this guile?
Tell me envious mind
I know nobody can die someone else's death

You can't see what's in your face... Your precious garbage is insane
What you despise makes me alive... I am the Trash Man

While you live a proper life, your petty existence, I obey my random fate that you deem inconsequence
You love to rate your conscience so clear, but does this count if you don't use it?
I do prefer an endless puzzle as I may shuffle and piece my world
