lyrics

This morning the air
Didn’t stuff itself down my throat
I could focus, behold this
Gift I’ve been given

Normally I’d be
Heeding to the misdirection that
Life takes, mistakes, heart breaks
And fall into regression

I don’t know how
The path has cleared
But I can’t wait
It’s drawing near
I need to take
The first step home

The void is not a place for me I’ve been there once before
I don’t have control of my thoughts
A beam of light descended warming my decrepit skin
It tingled but I welcomed it within
Exposing my surroundings and the grimace that they showed
Shrouding the world with a glow
Shrouding the world with a glow

I can’t believe
Or realize
That all I see
Was meant to die
Familiarity drifts away

I don’t know how
The path has cleared
But I can’t wait
It’s drawing near
I need to take
The first step home

This morning the hands
Couldn’t wrap themselves around my throat
I can’t feel them peelin’
Ripping through the layers

Normally I’d be
Fleeing, from the fear and danger
That I face, theres no trace in this case
I could run forever

I don’t know how
The path has cleared
But I can’t wait
It’s drawing near
I need to take
The first step home

I don’t know how
The path has cleared
But I can’t wait
I feel it drawing near
I need to take
The first step home

Its where I belong
I need to take
The first step home
