Bring it on Home

from Turn Up The Dark by David Backshell

/

lyrics

Out goes my breath, down goes the pain
I don't know why but they both taste the same
I'm licking my wounds and waiting for you

Into the void, out in exile
I count my days as they leave single file
Watch them bleed the sky

Down on my knees, coming up empty
I wonder if I'm lost because I choose to be
Time keeps rolling on

Down in the valley, out on the land
Hurt comes to me with her sleight of hand
Watches me dig myself deeper

Sun's getting low, tides getting high
I can't shake the loneliness eating my mind
Nothing touches me

I'm lost in the dream, I can't get free
I can't shake the heartache eating through me
Down on my knees, coming up empty
I wonder if I'm lost because I choose to be
Bring it on home to me
