I'm going home
As I see it, it is right before my eyes
and though I hear what they are saying
it is lies
and I
have to listen just to see if what they say
is in anyway
going home?

going home.
It's in my heart and in my head
going home
from the outside I can not be fed

I'm going home
what will I find?
hurtful or kind?

I'm going home
today.

I hear what they're saying
is it lies?
and I have to listen just
to compare within my mind
and thoughtful eyes.

I'm going home
what will I find?
hurtful or kind?

See you soon, I hope tomorrow
few look past their sorrow

today.



Hey. Doesn't anyone have a poem?

1. Purgatory (lyrics)
So here I stand
Completely alone
My skin absorbs the rain

Helpless to control
Pieces within the whole
I can feel it starting again

A sudden descent
I never meant
To manifest itself

Caught unaware
In frozen air
By visions sent in stealth

CHORUS
How far I've fallen
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory
My time is borrowed
But still I waste away

I've seen your eyes
Search desperate skies
For meaning they can't find

Succumbed to fate's
Unsteady gait
And found it too unkind

Plunge through the depths
Of what you let
Control you for too long

Life's fickle hand
Dealt reprimands
You prayed for all along

CHORUS
How far you've fallen
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory
Your time is borrowed
But still you waste away

Watch the world pass
Through broken glass
And wonder what went wrong

Monuments fall
On shattered walls
We once thought were so strong

Our false beliefs
Are merely thieves
That steal our precious time

And off they flee
In symmetry
Never punished for their crimes

CHORUS
How far we've fallen
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory
Our time is borrowed
But still we waste away

2. yesterday, we saw so many colors
so many dogs barking and
frogs with no voice
other
than that which we
gave them
they had so many names
word games
I heard them called

sheeple
so many times
day after day
I felt as though I had to say
we are all
sheeple
in our own chosen way
we are

thinking what we think
has meaning and something to say
we are all
people

think

we are
always

people.
