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
