Thirteen Lyrics

Bad luck wind been blowing at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at

Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number, when I was young

Got a long line of heartache, I carry it well

The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell
Bad luck wind been blowing at my back
I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name(Repeat again)

They just gave me the number when I was young
They just gave me the number when I was young

This song has its equal yet to meet. There are plenty of songs about one's misery, self-doubts and anxiety but none of them just plainly states that oneself is just fucked by nature. There is no asking of what one had done wrong or whether one deserved this, just the realisation that to be a total failure.
