Come inside
This hope-found inn
And rest your weary soul
Let the gentle patter
Of rain wash away
The darkness in your heart
Come inside
This dimly lit sanctuary
And rest your tired feet
Take a break
For a warm meal
And a cozy bed
You’re Halfway Home
Just a little bit left
No longer alone
But still quite lonely
So come inside
And sit for a while
Before leaving again
To wander this mighty cold plane
A rainbow of sadness
Take your pick
Will it be big sadness
Small sadness
Scattered clouds
And rain
Or you could choose
Sprinkled sadness
Windy sadness
A thick layer of snow
There’s more adding up
So many options
I know it’s hard to choose
But we’re happy to serve
So just hand over your card
A pathway home
A wander-some vagabond
The gods among us
Have forgotten who they are
It’s hard to stay away
When she keeps
Crawling back
Building this up
From the ground
Only to tear it
Back down
Light it on fire
And say I ruin everything
I let them steal my blood
Just because everyone said
It was fine
When I walked out the world
Was spinning static is
All I can see now
I’m pretty sure everything is
Different I stare at
Constellations during the day
And climb trees in the ocean
I thought my eyes were
Brown but she seems
To see them as green
The waves I’d struggle to
Climb soothe me to sleep
And that howling in my
Ear whispers lovely things
The salt stinging my eyes
Comes out with the tears
But it just doesn’t burn
The way it used to
In the early days
I can’t always remember
Things were so full of yellow and blue
And sunrise and sky
And sprinklers and bikes
Then with parting screams
Life was orange and brown
And sunset and birds
And movies and tears
In it’s wake I drowned with grey and maroon
And clouds and hoodies
And work and sighs
Consumed by the dark I could finally breath
And I became yellow and blue once more
