Sometimes it's hard to know
If you're going or if you're gone
So you dodge from right to left
Never knowing which way is wrong, no
Holding strong to all you know
But slippin' faster to your fall

You're like a sinner in a sin
The losing that never wins
Well, I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

Gonna paint the town tonight
I'll use colors green and amber
I'm like a painter without a brush
Whose colors fill to capture
And it's the chaos I understand
It's the calmness in my rants of anger

Just like a sinner in a sin
The loser that never wins
A poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

One day I'm going to wake up
And I know that the sun is gonna shine
Keeps on shinin' down

One day I know clouds, they're gonna part
Yes and I know its rays they will find me
Keeps on shining down

You might say that I'm beaten down
Just so you'll always know
There's not a grain that's worth reaping
If your seed can't grow, ah no

Like a sinner in a sin
Never losing or never win
A poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

Oh, I'm a sinner in a sin
Oh, a loser that never wins
Well, I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

Oh well, I'm a poet without a pen
And I've always been
And I'd do it again
