Coming back
Coming back without a grandstand
Coming back from the hinterland
Coming back as an old hand
I had cast myself aside
to focus on new graces
Instead placing myself
in permanent stasis
I had all these grand plans
and each one fell through
So now I stumble on back
down a crumbling avenue
Never knew which dream to follow
Never knew which pill to swallow
Now my words they ring so hollow
Now my passions no longer wallow
Coming back
Coming back to a humble home
Coming back to a field to roam
Coming back to find one's own
The sofa begins to mold
itself around my spine
As I lay and acting out
like it was all of mine
Not wanting to address
my failures or success
Claiming that it was all
just part of the process
Never knew what I should do
Never knew how to carry through
Now it happens out the blue
Now I need a new point of view
Coming back
Coming back to build myself
Coming back to repair my health
Coming back with the cards I dealt
Never knew I had it in me
Never knew if I could be happy
Now I skip the hyperbole
Now I give up emotional syncope
Coming back
Coming back to sing my song
Coming back from what was wrong
Coming back to live lifelong

I had taken a few weeks off due to a holiday, moving house and starting a new job, so of course imagined a story of someone coming home from failing their dream.
