welcome home

(album: if we're being honest - 2023)

Take a breath and count to eight
You're home again and safe
The window's locked in case
Say you love what I create
I wish I felt the same
It's only my escape

They say it's not too late
But I accept this fate
This train's become defaced
The monster hunts his prey
The scent of pure decay
It seeps and starts to stain

The seams all start to fray
Let's stay inside today

The wind begins to blow
This tree's all filled with crows
And watch as you go
Another night alone
We drink to stay afloat
It's closing up my throat

When words do not express
The feelings I caress
They cast beyond my head
Then all the lights still fade
The darkness lends us shade
We cease to find a way

Let's stay inside today

Take a breath and count to eight
You're home again and safe
