Home - Averi

It stares me in the face

Most of the moments of all these days

I’m sore from stretching out these arms

Trying to grab it by the neck and bring it home

I hesitate for a moment, and it’s gone

I’d trade in all these possessions

Just to be that complete

Would you stay with me here my lovely

If all I had was me?

It slaps me in the face

Until the surface of my skin grows numb

I’m tired of the lack of embrace

Could you please take me home?

I stumble over these nightmares, and it’s gone

I’d trade in all these possessions

Just to be that complete

Would you stay with me here my lovely

If all I had was me?

I pause to silence these thoughts

And cool the surface of this skin

I hesitate for a moment, and it’s gone

I’d trade in all these possessions

Just to be that complete

Would you wait with me here my lovely

If all I had was me?
