I feel like I got stoned
It feels nice to live alone
Pull up outside of anywhere that looks hospitable
I’m home
Saw some other folks around the way getting hassled for their poverty
It makes me feel like singing acab
One day you’ll get what’s coming
I felt the freedom of being free from rent
And felt the burden of needing a place to take a shit
It’s not quite glamorous
And I’m not quite homeless
But what you start to notice
It’s not a world of difference
Do we need permission to exist or do we just need to afford it?
If it’s a one way street I’d rather be off the beaten path
It’s not a world of difference
It’s not a world of difference
It’s not a world of difference

I was livin’ in a van, down by the water. For real, for like 22 months. It gave me a glimpse of the unnecessary shade thrown at people without houses and how we all have more in common than we might think.
