Welcome Home by Radical Face
Sleep don't visit, so I (1)__________ on sun, and the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum (2)________ things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of (3)________________ ghosts over old dead grass
Was (4)__________ much, but we've made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
Peel the (5)__________ (6)________ off my back
I don't need (7)________ anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars

Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were (8)__________ supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can
Here, (9)______________ my lungs
I feel your thumbs
Press into my skin again
