Relive This Again

Downtown, the wind gusts
It's starting to rain
I’ve walked this whole city, still nothing I gained
Protected by a  small coat and the shoes on my feet
No place I ain’t seen, no street I can’t name
I’ve been straight to the ends of the earth
Almost fell off the edge, have yet to find my worth 

So I climbed up the cliff
Put myself up the ledge
Tried to restart my life 
But I’m cut by the knife
Drowning here in this rain
Every drops burning pain
Do I have to relive this again?

The day has now flown
It’s time to walk home
I’m safe in my dome
To control my own fate
But the wind picks up speed
My shelters blowing away
Try to put back the pieces
But none of them stay

Now I’ve got to rebuild 
Start my new work from scratch
I can’t make the ends match
How long must it take
till I can live in peace and I can give up the fight
When all that I’ve done won’t be gone in one night
Do I have to relive this again?

Moving forward the month is july
All I see is the sun and blue sky
The rays are burning my skin
I’ve been forced to migrate up north
To find a nice cooled down inn
So I head up, had to travel barefoot
Up and over 18 hills I went dry
Just a beverage or 2 would be nice

I followed the map, but the inn wasn't there
I found myself lost out in the land of nowhere
I had to retrace all my steps
Does anyone Care?
My life, it has flown
Had to go back to what I had already known
Do I have to relive this again?
