Lyrics
Far From Home ©2023 Starburst / Creative InRoads, LLC
I bit myself today
Lost all my self control
I'm such a bloody mess
With duck tape it won't show
I strap these feelings on
With grappling hooks and chains
And, carefully contemplate
How guilt can leave a bloody stain
Shipwrecked far from home
This crisis of my youth
Come join my battle zone
If you want truth, I'll give you proof
My mind a reservoir
Of crazy crooked pain
My spirit still at war with my demons
I don't dare to name (they have my name)
I drag my crooked leg
Down streets I used to own
And, wrap my bleeding soul
Round blessings I should have known
Now, in my cheater's chair
I carefully cut and paste
My precious thoughts and dreams
To please the judge and the magistrate
Shipwrecked far from home
This crisis of my youth
Come join my battle zone
If you want truth, I'll give you proof
My mind a reservoir
Of crazy crooked pain
My spirit still at war with my demons
I don't dare to name (they have my name)
With a felon's sense of pride
And a convict's private creed
I tempt the gods to turn on me
But, I only steal what I need
Shipwrecked far from home
This crisis of my youth
Come join my battle zone
If you want truth, I'll give you proof
My mind a reservoir
Of crazy crooked pain
My spirit still at war with my demons
I don't dare to name (they have my name)
