Homesick Lyrics

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
