Former Glories

Best be taking down the awards on my wall
I can't face them no more
I'm not the man they hang around for
Only a fool would be raising drinks to
Someone they used to be
And things they used to do

Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found
Spinning my old stories and trying to hold a crowd
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found
As lonely as a portrait, stories all spun out

Funny how my pride don't go down so easy
After I've swum so deep
Looking for all that could have been
Blinded by all of those brightly lit halls
That can't be mine to keep
Without some wherewithal

Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found
Spinning my old stories and trying to hold a crowd
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found
As lonely as a portrait, stories all spun out
