here is a song
from the wrong side of town
where i'm bound
to the ground
by the loneliest sound
that pounds from within
and is planning me down

here is a page
from the emptiest stage
a cage or the heaviest cross ever made
a gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid

and i thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally i've found
that i belong here

the heat and the sickliest
sweet smelling sheets
that cling to the backs of my knees
and my feet
i'm drowning in time
to a desperate beat

and i thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally i've found
that i belong
feels like home
i should have known
from my first breath

god send the only true friend
i call mine
pretend that i'll make amends
the next time
befriend the glorious end of the line

and i thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally i've found
that i belong here
