Homeless

In this house where I grew up With cosy chairs and broken cups Memories piled up to the ceiling Can they tell what I am feeling? I know this house outside and in But three birds fly upon my skin Lay my head down in the darkness Like so many nights before this In this bed where I rest I'm homeless This house I know best But I'm homeless My hunger it grows And it won't let me go And it burns in my chest I'm homeless Heavy steps on hardwood floors Into my room through broken doors Try to leave this day behind me But peace will never find me In this bed where I rest I'm homeless This house I know best But I'm homeless My hunger it grows And it won't let me go And it burns in my chest I'm homeless I have a place I can call my own That's where I go 'til the night is gone I travel my mind and into my heart Nobody knows when I go that far In this bed where I rest I'm homeless This house I know best But I'm homeless My hunger it grows And it won't let me go And it burns in my chest I'm homeless
