lyrics

Tres



pacing halls with folded hands
i swear i am on fire
swinging hammers at my thoughts
i’m just so frustrated and tired

should I be forced to face tomorrow
world, forget my name
the sun sinks down on southern towns
and for me, it does the same

and this is not a song about balance
though i understand it’s hard
but if you love me, ask me nothing
let rest my worried heart

leave a trail of smoke to trace
where all my troubles start
surely others feel the same
i just don’t know who they are

they say that home is where the heart is
well mine’s spread across the map
in the corners of my mind
and in moments long collapsed

every word i couldn’t say
every time that I retract
it falls apart and fades away
until the house is all but black

but i can still find my way

run my hands along the walls

every door frame and tile

with careful steps when i walk

but i guess that’s what it is
to be alive, i mean
keep moving through the dark
’til the sun comes up again

they say that home is where the heart is
well mine’s spread across the map
in the corners of my mind
and in moments long collapsed

every word i couldn’t say
every time that I retract
it falls apart and fades away
’til the house is all but black
