Nobody's Home

(album: Exit Signs - 2020)

Picture this
You've been around the world on dry land
You take one step into quicksand
And then you sink until you're (sink until you're) nothing
But a hand, if you even understand
Consider this
I'm no Lucifer
Please, don't crucify the man

Some ways from here
You'll find a perfect home
White walls and ceilings
But all the doors are closed
The lights down low
'Cause nobody's home

How many times I gotta look you in your eyes
Straight in the face and say it to ya
"Baby, you're a blessing
I ain't messing"
She got a pretty little waist but no waste of time
Let's cut to the chase and just
Skip to the undressing
I'm finessing

And it's been a long, long time coming
And I'm sick and tired of all this running
I've been running away from too many of my yesterdays
I decided that I wanted to change, yeah

But seriously
Life has been as good as the Siri
Alarm clock, don't stop
I'm waking up, singing
I'm singing, "ooh-ooh"

Some ways from here
You'll find a perfect home
White walls and ceilings
But all the doors are closed
The lights down low
'Cause nobody's home

Listen, I've been off the grid for a minute
Yeah, I've been trying to figure out a whole lotta shit, I admit it
I've been digging up a vision, I can see it so vivid
I'll be damned if I'ma ever forget it

Some ways from here
You'll find a perfect home
White walls and ceilings
But all the doors are closed
You'll never
Take this part of me

Still [?]
'Cause I'm standing on my own
I'm all alone
And now I know
That nobody's home
