Do you ever miss places? That house on the corner Those moments in time A lifetime ago Simply memories You can never revisit Just reminders Of how far you’ve come Who you were Versus who you are today That’s someone to be proud of
Places of past are my terrors at night Eyelids close, now Its fight or flight But your ankles just broke the fall Memories flood & your lungs fill Drown while you crawl Lessons learned and lessons lived Applied, rehearsed & perfected until you’re fake Ashamed of the ashes you derived Who I was, made these bones ache The **** I’ve said, made my soul break So I killed the boy to become his man
There’s no place like home There's no woman like mom Just a house of deja-vu syndrome Beauty in-between chaos & calm The one place it's okay to be blind Until you want to see forever There's more road ahead than behind It goes quick, keep a present ember & aware of your state-of-mind If there's one thing to remember You're at your best unconfined
