Smells Like Home

Looks like everyone here is stuck in the past,

The word seems like a lovely place when everyone you’ve ever known has fooled you,

Fooled you into thinking that there’s nothing to fear.

The life of a stranger; the life of my lover

The light of my life is dimming.

The night is slowly swallowing me whole.

I have never been so comfortable drowning in fear,

The ocean, the ocean oh how the I wish the waves would swallow me whole,

I just want to be alone; no one understands that me it is always me against the world!

We can form apologies around the our flaws,

We never understand what we mean,

The misinterpretations of you and me,

Please, please, if there’s a “God" why would he let me breathe?

I have not seen myself like this in over a year,

This constant fear haunts me like a unrested soul,

I say "I’m not afraid" but my but my voice trembles when I try to from the sentence,

My home is the hole I dug myself in,

My hole is where I’ll dig my coffin.
