Welcome Home by Radical Face
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun, and the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with (1)____________ I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of (2)________________ (3)____________ over old dead grass
Was never much, but we've made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have (4)__________ but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
Peel the (5)__________ from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home
All my nightmares (6)____________ my head
Bar the door, (7)____________ don't let (8)________ in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's (9)__________________ at the seams
And I don't know if I can
Here, beneath my lungs
I feel your thumbs
Press into my skin again
