Open the gate An empty spot without your car Dew droplets fresh Tyre treads left on the dirt The smell of you still lingers in the air Dampened by the scent of the unfamiliar Pushing it into the walls And staining the floor No sound of laughing, everything's changed The mosquito net left dangling on a hook The dust will finally settle In another empty room in an empty house And when I come back "home" And sit where you sat Light a match And engulf the iron *** with searing flames I get thrown into the insanity over again Without the pillar of light Guiding through all the nuisances Guiding me through the night And if to once again inevitably stray And falter off the path Will you be there to pull me onto the road And back into the day...

Its Not a Home Without You
Open the gate An empty spot without your car Dew droplets fresh Tyre treads left on the dirt The smell of you still lingers in the air Dampened by the scent of the unfamiliar Pushing it into the walls And staining the floor No sound of laughing, everything's changed The mosquito net left dangling on a hook The dust will finally settle In another empty room in an empty house And when I come back "home" And sit where you sat Light a match And engulf the iron *** with searing flames I get thrown into the insanity over again Without the pillar of light Guiding through all the nuisances Guiding me through the night And if to once again inevitably stray And falter off the path Will you be there to pull me onto the road And back into the day...
