“Products of Poverty” is the second track on Craig Owens' debut solo album, With Love. This song features Stephen Christian from Anberlin, the only guest vocalist to be featured on With Love.
[Verse 1]
It's a start of a new year
And as always, things are exactly the same
I'm watching my closest get so far from me
And I've never felt so alone
I said all I could say
Not a single thing has changed
I left them here to doubt me
They laugh, and then they leave
I've realized now I'll never become anything
[Chorus]
Another long night of being strung out and alone
Another night of hearing things and having messed up dreams
Another day of rejection
The people I love seem to be giving up on me
[Verse 2]
So, yes, it's true
I'm snorting lines off of the same books that I read
And I dream of living in late night kitchen conversations
So now you know, I try to soak up inspiration any way I can
And if it's so hard to believe what I say
Then I should stop speaking
[Chorus]
Another long night of being strung out and alone
Another night of hearing things and having messed up dreams
Another day of rejection
The people I love seem to be giving up on me
[Post-Chorus]
Products of poverty
[Bridge]
Just learn to love yourself
Just forget the rest for now
And learn to love yourself
Just forget the rest for now
And learn to love yourself
[Chorus]
Another long night of being strung out and alone
Another night of hearing things and having messed up dreams
Another day of rejection
The people I love seem to be giving up on me
[Chorus: Craig Owens]
Another long night of being strung out and alone
Another night of hearing things and having messed up dreams
Another day of rejection
The people I love seem to be giving up on me
Craig Owens released Products of Poverty on Tue Sep 15 2009.
