Going Home

My heart is split between two states
Stretched for two thousand miles
Always having to board an airplane to go home 
To visit my sister and childhood best friends
But just like spelling racecar backwards
I'll end up where I began 
Boarding an airplane to go home
To my parents and good friends 
It hurts to know despite the way I go
The people most important to me 
Are on the other end

Wheres Recovery

Deep within me lies all my sins 
They sit on a pile of thoughts of what I could have been 
They're intertwined with every moral I thought by I lived 
Slowly smothering my Gods will 
Always bringing me back to if I had never taken that first pill 
Where is there recovery for me? 
Dressed in my sins from head to toe  
They've risen from the bottom, there's no where else to go 
Every single days the same 
Everyone can see my problems 
But I still don't know where to go, 
Where is there recovery for me? 
I still have these dreams of being more than I am 
But sometimes it seems my dreams are a message in a bottle, 
drifting away further and further from the shore 
And this ocean is man made of my own mistakes and regrets 
of my lost dreams and my lost friends 
of every thing I wanted to achieve, all the things I wanted to be 
but went and sipped on that lean instead 
My souls aching now, for recovery for me.
