Every now and then I feel one more step away from being here

Even though in earnest how I try to get back to you, my dear

Resurrecting all these ancient bones under centuries of soil

And the sanctity of self reflection separates the water from the oil

Everyone who’s ever crossed my mind, they have a place to go

And every song that helps me to unwind is the only one I know

I don’t feel at home tonight on this back-breaking wall

Nothing feels alright tonight and there’s no one left to call

Every now and then I feel like choking in my own self-righteous way

And I rest a weary head upon my pillow at the twilight of the day 

I condemn the way you left me all alone, and I curse the other side

But to take a helping hand requires admission held captive by my pride

Everyone who’s ever crossed my mind, they have a place to go

And every song that helps me to unwind is the only one I know

I don’t feel at home tonight on this back-breaking wall

Nothing feels alright tonight and there’s no one left to call

I don’t feel at home tonight on this back-breaking wall

Nothing feels alright tonight and there’s no one left to call
