"Nobody's Child"

I've watched the hourglass
For so very long and it seems
I keep repeating my past
And living in broken dreams...

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven seems so far away
So I'll walk the thin line
Until death comes back for me

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven is full of holes
When I will ever find
My place nobody really knows

I am Nobody's Child
I face the rolling tide
I am Nobody's Child
I'm just so cold inside

I've watched the inner
Workings of ridiculous fate
Never a loser, never a winner
And time mocks me when I'm awake...

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven seems so far away
So I'll walk the thin line
Until death comes back for me

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven is full of holes
When I will ever find
My place nobody really knows

I am Nobody's Child
I face the rolling tide
I am Nobody's Child
I'm just so cold inside

Child of no one
Progeny of none
My life is a cold one
Always on the run

Child of no one
Spawn of nobody
My life is a cold one
There's no one to call me...

Home
Home
Home

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven seems so far away
So I'll walk the thin line
Until death comes back for me

Hell doesn't need me
And heaven is full of holes
When I will ever find
My place nobody really knows

I am Nobody's Child
I face the rolling tide
I am Nobody's Child
I'm just so cold inside

Any thoughts? Even shallow ones are welcome.

You know,I did read this,several times.For some reason it didn't "grab" me like most of your other song lyrics.I admit,I do hold you to a higher standard,you're that good!So,now that I've reread this yet again..........minor masterpiece.I'm finding that if your opening stanza isn't strong,I start to "drift off" if you get my meaning.(If you get my drift,I start to drift......)That said,this is another good write!

It exudes a dark hopelessness. I went through something like this in my early songwriting days.

Thanks Doug, I agree. I can't always write at my best. Gotta have a bunch of so so songs and a few really great ones. Thanks Jim, for your thoughts. I hope to find the bright side someday.
