I am home? No, I am somewhere Somewhere dark and cold But I don't know If they know That I don't belong I am home? No, I am no where No where I want to be But I can't tell If they can tell That I'm dying inside I am home? No, I am not there There amongst my family But I can't see If they can see Where I really hid my body Is this my home? There, buried in the ashes Of where I used to live If you listen you can still hear our hearts Mother and child Died together in agony Is this my home? My ghost wanders the remains And I can remember again Lavender rooms and beige floors Large windows to see the world through Three stories high so we could Nearly touch the stars I am home? Yes, here within the rubble Of an old white house And now I know That they now know With death is where I belong

My Place Amid the Embers
I am home? No, I am somewhere Somewhere dark and cold But I don't know If they know That I don't belong I am home? No, I am no where No where I want to be But I can't tell If they can tell That I'm dying inside I am home? No, I am not there There amongst my family But I can't see If they can see Where I really hid my body Is this my home? There, buried in the ashes Of where I used to live If you listen you can still hear our hearts Mother and child Died together in agony Is this my home? My ghost wanders the remains And I can remember again Lavender rooms and beige floors Large windows to see the world through Three stories high so we could Nearly touch the stars I am home? Yes, here within the rubble Of an old white house And now I know That they now know With death is where I belong
