Luna

Where do you go when you've never felt at home
Do you just reside inside your head
Who do you see when you're never more alone
Holed up in a room full of friends

Every lie that you told made you harder to hold
Every promise was spoken in vain
So you passed off the blame and you cursed all of their names
And you fell just as hard as the rain

So you're standing in line just waiting for your time
To seize the day and keep your torch a flame
Passing by the hours turning soil into flowers
Waiting for your critical acclaim

Every thought runs its race etching lines upon your face
Every day passes by in the cold
You're either standing in place or you're leaving in disgrace
Till they make you a wreath of marigolds

(With all the years that pass the weeds grow over grass
The soil's begging for the rain
And as you turn away at the fading of the day
The water's calling out your name)

Every road that you roam lingers in your chromosomes
So you say that you'll stay one more day
But you find that your home has receded into loam
Everything that you'd loved gone away
