Wish You Were

Standing in a crowded room,
Restless bloody mouth
Some things you're not supposed to understand or ever figure out
I feel the static
And the hum
Of twenty different notes
And everyone is standing too close to me, leave me alone
I'm staring at the pattern
That I've been slowly forming
Red blood on white tile
Light-headed delirium
Oh how it spreads
Oh how it stains
And oh how bittersweet
Oh how I feel so much closer to the end

Long Way Home
07:22

And I am sorry that it came to this
It's just that it felt so right
At this very moment everything felt so right
And I know I have
Been here before
But this time it's going to work out
For the very first time
Everything is going to work out
Give my Christmas wish to someone else
And give all my music to the river
And burn all my clothes
Let me know if my music ever got big
And please take care of yourself
And please don't do what I do, but what I say
And give me up
Tell everyone how I felt about them
Tell Rhine that I still would have
Tell God I didn't mean it
And whoever you want that I didn't make it
Tell yourself I'm coming home
my god I am home
I don't mind the sun
On the back of my neck anymore
I don't feel out of sorts
I don't mind anything
I can't stop laughing
I'm home
Dear god I am home
oh my god I am home
I am sorry that it came to this
It's just that it felt so right
At this very moment everything felt so right
