These lights...this city Under their waves my mind begins to drift away Such malice...beneath beauty Would send anyone looking for a safer place Like home...am I alone If I break is there somewhere I can be whole again Is there a safe haven Somewhere to heal from the assisted self-inflicted pain From my failures Because something's dying Down inside of me Can't shake this...this feeling Sickle stares that believe they reach the heart of me An insistance and persistance Of sifting through until they find the deepest darkest deeds In this home...sweet home I sleep with one eye open and hide from the day Inspected...dissected Laid open for the triggermen to fire away At my failures Something's dying Down inside of me Is this feeling Is this real Well, it must be something From nothing...nothing comes I've seen in dark places Small flames cutting through where there were none before So simple...so precious But still small, still open, still vulnerable And this home...away from home This shelter from the everpresent enemy Has kept score...and closed doors Brightest fires kept inside close and comfortable From the failure But the fire is dying Down inside of me With all my failures Something's dying Down inside of me
