Long Way HomeA Poem by Travis PrinoYou'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. © 2015 Travis Prino |
