"Welcome Home" lyrics
"Welcome Home"
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts, over old dead grass
Was never much, but we made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names, but most do not
If you find one, please
Let me know what piece I've lost
Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out
Or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home
All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can...
Here beneath my lungs
I feel your thumbs press into my skin again
Thanks to Arcelian for correcting these lyrics.

And I don't know if I'm dead or not...
Woodkid - "Baltimore's Fireflies" What are the words that I'm supposed to say?
Your white skin, swirling fireflies.
Darkness has surrounded Baltimore bay.
Why don't you open your blue eyes?
Are they things that water can't wash...
Alexi Murdoch - "Orange Sky" Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said, "Brother, you know you know
It's...
José González - "Stay Alive" There's a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean
Sometimes there's...
