Home

Here is a song
from the wrong side of town
where I'm bound
to the ground
by the loneliest sound
that pounds from within
and is pinning me down

Here is a page
from the emptiest stage
a cage or the heaviest cross ever made
a gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid

And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong here

The heat and the sickliest
sweet smelling sheets
that cling to the backs of my knees
and my feet
I'm drowning in time
to a desperate beat

And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong

Feels like home
I should have known
from my first breath

God send the only true friend
I call mine
pretend that I'll make amends
the next time
befriend the glorious end of the line

And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong here.
