Homesick

Homesick to better days Go The last postcard loses its luster The last kiss of the sun is no longer felt Trapped in everyday life I am caught in the daily grind Homesick to better days The city lights burn in the eyes The noise of the street is an unbearable roar When the call of the distance becomes a pleading screech I am homesick to better days The void beneath my skin The smoke I'm breathing in Makes me feel like I Like I am trapped inside The void beneath my skin The emptiness that pulls me in Dark days, I'm locked inside a cage (in a cage) Cancerous smoke in my lungs Traffic lights yell In a blurry red Oxygen running out This city's choking me This city's choking me Traffic lights Blurry red Oxygen running out This city's choking me This city's choking me Oh I feel the hands of sorrow are reaching out for me They pull me back from the way to my relief For far too long I've sensed this sickening grip on me Homesick to better days Time to close my eyes and travel light Empty-handed but with open arms How far must I go to escape reality? I still am homesick to better days The void beneath my skin The void beneath my skin The smoke I'm breathing in Makes me feel like I, like I am trapped inside The void beneath my skin The emptiness that pulls me in Dark days, I'm locked inside a cage (in a cage) Cancerous smoke in my lungs Cancerous smoke in my lungs
