Feel Like Home

These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they've lost their soul And everywhere I go I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home Standing on the bridge in the dark and I'm seeing my breath Trying to make it home without freezing to death And my grandfather's face is stuck in my mind And how seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time I should've brought a jacket Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill Thinking, laying in that box people look so still At times like these you start thinking Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking I'm not trying to bum anyone out Not trying to be dramatic, just thinking out loud I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind Some defence from the cold that I'm feeling outside And for a minute, escape with some rhythm and rhyme And get away from the grey just a bit of the time Yeah, kinda funny how this world can treat you Like a freak in a sideshow, a carnival creature Climbing outta cans, I'm a diamond in the sand But you can't tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones My life's like trying to swallow a pinecone It's tough when you live fast, just to die slow Talk to dial tones, my dreams are far fetched It seems so I sleep underneath this park bench I know it don't make sense And I don't expect for you to know what it's like Smoke, drink, piss, sniffing everything in my sight Push rocks in a pipe Liftoff, I keep puffin' 'til my lips turn white And my chest gets tight, but who the fuck really cares When you're so far left that even death looks right All I can do is hope for the best and pray That it gets a little better than yesterday Pardon me I think I'm next to url Too many problems going on that's why I left my girl Packed my bags and I traveled with a pen and my notepad Pissed that I was broke and all the things that I don't have But still, I try to find a way to escape From all the hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes But now I'm breaking the mold, see I was patient and calm Many sleep in the rain, but I'm awake in the storm Writing my life in a short film, The Rise and Fall How I managed to scorch hills and climb the walls Pound pavement aimless in this cold existence Even though things are changing I'm going the distance Overcoming the doubt that had control for so long And put it all behind me 'cause life still goes on Now I'm much stronger, I know where I stand While lost souls search over and over again These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they've lost their soul And everybody's trying not to cry, trying to get by And trying not to feel out of control And if you look hard enough Sometimes you'll find a place that might just remind you of home But if it doesn't feel like home, you can do what I do Just pretend you don't feel so alone
