Homecoming - System Syn

You said you’re sure I’d understand

But you know god damn well

That’s a burden you can’t give and walk away from

I guess I’ll know when he comes home

If you’re alive or if you’re gone

So thank you for the time I have to wait

Won’t you stay a little longer

Before you leave us all

If these words could reach you fast enough

If my fingers would not bleed upon these chords

You might come home

Am I a coward

Was I born to run away

Steal the light from other men

A soulless narcissist cliche

And what good have I done

That I should be alive today

I am a coward

I was born to run away

And have I always been so cold

That you could trust me with this cross

You feel we’re so connected

And it scares me

Just like it always does

With everyone else

Won’t you stay a little longer

In the emptiness of now

Until my words can reach your ears

Until my fingers bleed upon these chords

There is no home
