Long Way Home

Long Way Home

A Poem by Travis Prino

You're on a high

all the time

waiting for the day you die

take this needle

that you feel

from your body till you keel

to the pain

in your veins

reinvigorate you brain

cause it's a long way home


you always feel the weight of the world

resting (RESTING) on your shoulders

you come to this place to escape

but you're wasting (WASTING) away

you look in the mirror, you don't like what you see

cause you're faking (FAKING) everything

but you're in too deep, there is no way out

cause you're addicted (ADDICTED) to falling down


you're on a high

all the time

waiting for the day you die

take this needle

that you feel

from your body till you keel

to the pain

in your veins

reinvigorate your brain

cause it's a long way home


you always held the world by the neck

choking (CHOKING) it with your regrets

you find your answers in a liquid form

but you're dying (DYING) for something more

you reach for help but you recoil within

and you're lying (LYING) to yourself again

and the end approaches faster now

cause you're destined (DESTINED) to drown


you're on a high

all the time

waiting for the day you die

take this needle

that you feel

from your body till you keel

to the pain

in your veins

reinvigorate your brain

cause it's a long way home


you always blamed everyone else

but yourself

cause you were selfish

you always blamed everyone else

but yourself

cause you were selfish

now it's time to take responsibility

for your actions

time to kick the habit

now it's time to take responsibility

for your actions

time to kick the habit


you're on a high

all the time

waiting for the day you die

take this needle

that you feel

from your body till you keel

to the pain

in your veins

reinvigorate your brain

cause it's a long way home


it's a long way home

it's a long way home from nowhere.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
