Come on home if you can bare to
I know not a lot has changed
You could say that there's much less pressure
On commitments we make to stay the same
You haven't even been gone for a week
And you were only around for a couple of days
Now when I try to stand up my spine
Feels more like spaghetti than vertebrae
Vertebrae
My spine feels more like spaghetti than vertebrae
Above it all I'm sure these movements make sense
And I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
I tell my body to understand logic
But my body always decides to disagree
Like a phone conversation that never ends
I tune in and out my ears
But with all these distractions that surround me
I'm forgetting what your point really is
Really is
All these distractions that surround me
I'm forgetting what your point really is
As the blood breaks all my bones
I remember what my mother said
Only it's not about sticks and stones
It's the dreams I have outside my bed
As the blood breaks all my bones
I remember what a raven said
Only it's not about sticks and stones
It's the constant bullshit that soars around in my head
So come on home if you can bare to
I know not a lot has changed
You could say that there's much more pressure
On commitments we made to go and blow away
Blow away
There's so much pressure on commitments we made
To go and blow away
