lyrics

I tried to repent for my sins,
I tried to make up for all I’ve wronged,
But there was nothing left to fix,
The damage was done and I was just too late.

If home is where the heart is,
Then why am I so close to the edge?
If home is where the heart is,
Then what do I do if I can’t pay the rent?

Is this what my life has come to?
Being locked away, alone with myself.
I’ve been screaming at mannequins,
Praying to god I get a response.

I’ve been moving just for the sake of motion,
Screaming out for a sense of sound.
All my life I’ve been deaf to the truth.
I’ve had answers that I’m too blind to see.

I stand in front of an empty grave.
A hole in the ground dug just for me.
I’m at my own funeral ball,
The soil will soon become my home.

I wouldn’t listen to those who helped me.
Thousands of notions just shoved in my face.
So many tried to make me believe,
It’s too bad they’ll never know I’m gone.
