Music and Lyrics: B. Herr

lyrics

Swing shut the blinds on a blinding day
I never saw the sun this way when
I was living in the Malvern Home
Now I’m living in a catacomb
The walls are lined with dust and bone

Doesn’t anybody live here?
Everybody dies here
Why am I alive here?
Why am I all alone?

I can see it from the window
Yeah, it’s just a stone’s throw
I used to call that place home.
Why did I have to go?

Thought I fit into that machine
Didn’t know it was just some stupid dream

Can anybody me get back to where I belong?
Can anybody help but pack together this broken home
Can anybody help me to see the truth’s been here all along
And that truth is
You’ve never seemed more at home.

And I’m drinking every night here
Running out of fight here
Running out of light here
Running out of life
Running out of time
Running out of money
Running out of my fucking mind

What am I supposed to do here?
Can’t avoid the view here.
Turn another screw here.
I’m living for rewind

Every day, I gotta wake up
Hoping for a shake up
Trying to fix my ache up
Wishing I was blind.

Thought I fit into that machine
Truth is it’s running better without me
