"Crumbs" by Mark Ambor follows a regretful mind too proud to reach back out, grasping at small signs like a face-up penny because real hope has faded. Overwhelmed by constant information and confusion, the search for answers turns inward and upward, toward ceilings, clouds, and the light between trees. Living on crumbs means surviving on scraps of luck and fleeting reassurance while waiting for a hero or a moment of clarity. The quiet plea is for direction, for some signal that the lost self can be found again.
Crumbs Lyrics by Mark Ambor
Somethin’ I wish I told ya
Of course just came to me
But I’m too high on my pride
To reach back out just casually
Some days are rollercoasters
And when those days sink their teeth
I go outside for answers then call it
Spirituality
I found a penny
Lying face up
I’ve been holdin’ onto any bit of good luck
Had a little hope
But it’s long gone
I got crumbs I’ve been tryin’ to survive on
There’s way too much information
It’s messin’ with my mind
I’m startin’ to confuse, oh
What’s my left and what’s my right
Ooh
There’s gotta be a place somewhere
Ooh
Where my phone dies, and I don’t care
I found a penny
Lying face up
I’ve been holdin’ onto any bit of good luck
Had a little hope
But it’s long gone
I got crumbs I’ve been tryin’ to survive on
Where’s a hero
When I need it
Cause I’ve been lookin’ for the answers in my ceiling
Had a little hope
But it’s long gone
I got crumbs I’ve been tryin’ to survive on
In the clouds
In the breeze
In the light between the trees
I know you’re there
So could you tell me when
When I’m gonna find myself again
I found a penny
Lying face up
I’ve been holdin’ onto any bit of good luck
Had a little hope
But it’s long gone
I got crumbs I’ve been tryin’ to survive on
Where’s a hero
When I need it
Cause I’ve been lookin’ for the answers in my ceiling
Had a little hope
But it’s long gone
I got crumbs I’ve been tryin’ to survive on
