I Take These Trips
I take these trips to go walking
I take these trips to clear my head
I travel to hell and back
I take these trips to go walking
And now I’m writing to get
All this out of my head
I take these trips to the graveyard at night
I shoot summer stars with awful glances
They say home is where your rug rests
My rug is the grass over their bones
My soul is the earth between their coffins
My ears hear their children in the streets
My eyes see
What my eyes don’t want to see
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
My eyes have seen their demise
I’d tear out my eyes to blind me from the sight
But I can’t seem to escape this awful place
I can’t get away from the graveyard
I can’t escape my home
I’m from where I am
but how can i live without my life!
how can i live i live without my soul!
