Back to That Room

Since I’ve been alone there’s no one home to comfort me

Is that the price your willing to pay just to be free?

There just seems no end to this storm at sea

I wonder should I stay or should I flee,

Crawling back into my little world the way I feel

Just another glass of wine to seal the deal

If I could I’d dive away from that grinding wheel

Just take away all of these thoughts whenever I kneel,

Just getting through another day after another day

That the world still holds together I pray

Please accept my apologies if I overstayed

Oh how long it’s been since I strayed,

There’s nothing here it seems rather queer

But I just can’t seem to switch gears

Life has become a game of smoke and mirrors

Dealing with life and all those dreams and fears,

Thank you for making it so painfully clear

So that you and I would never be near

Erasing from my vocabulary the word dear,

Funny who succeeds with all the lies and the smears,

Thought I could get through a day without feeling this way

When everyone and all your love has gone astray

It’s not the type of crime where somebody pays

I’ll survive and get through keeping the wolves at bay,

I’d have to say that I’m earthbound but I won’t stay

Just a sad reflective moment come what may

Hurrying home before it rains the sky is gray

Back to the room and the bed where we once laid.
