Whoop Whoop Get Back In the Van!

The sadness in your eyes

Like the children we pass on the street

And ignoring their empty styrofoam cups

As they beg for money

And beg for change

So when you told me not to come home

All I could think was

At least I have a home I can leave

The summer rain always tasted cleaner

You know it's not in the words you say

But the space in between

The silences you let fester

I've been searching for anything to tell me

Anything at all

And who will take my place

In my bed when I'm away?

And who will take my seat at the table?

And who will notice when

My bones betray my skin

And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

I regret everything I remember

And I never forget

I thought I would miss your waves

Until I remembered how it felt to drown

I know all the words you never bothered to say

Are all the words I needed to hear

Scratch at the walls until your fingers turn blue

You know we'll turn our heads

And who will take my place

In my bed when I'm away?

And who will take my seat at the table?

And who will notice when

My bones betray my skin

And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

And who will take my place

In my bed when I'm away?

And who will take my seat at the table?

And who will notice when

My bones betray my skin

And who will make me leave when I'm unable?

Wait

This isn't the place

This isn't home

This is no place at all

Wait

This isn't the time

This watch isn't mine

The hands point me in the wrong directions

Wait

This isn't my mind

I've seen the insides

The wheels turn, but I still can't navigate

Wait

This isn't the map
