lyrics

I’ve been alone before, I’ll be alone again, life an orphan on the streets, until then, I will bide my time with friends may the evenings never end.

I’ve been bleached to the core, nothing here I really want anymore, but a little piece of the past I adore, so I drive, to a place I can’t arrive, but I’ll long for all my life

And as the years go by, I hope that you find the home that haunts your mind, It’s what you seek, but it’s a distant memory.

I’ve been lost in the cold, light years away from my home, like a child who has grown, I return, to the town where I was born, but there’s nothing to mourn.

I’ve already surrendered all hope, there’s no words of wisdom that even comes close, like Courtney dressed in black in 94, I pray, but our dear friends cannot stay and it gets darker everyday

And as the years go by, I hope that you find the home that haunts your mind, it’s what you seek, but it’s a distant memory

I’ve been left here to die, it’s the only certainty regardless of time, like the crazy homeless guy you walk by, who scream “it’s not the warm home that you seek but the loved ones that you grieve.”
