I Come Home

I come home

And I find myself alone again

And I need your voice on the phone

To remind me of how brave I am

Cause I get scared at night and I lose my heart

I see faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark

I lose my mind between the front door and the car

But you cannot run from demons

They know just where you are

And I buy draperies to keep me in

Cause I fear my heart is beating on the outside of my skin

And anyone who wants to can look on in

They will find me in my solitude

Yeah, sometimes in my sin

Cause these walls ain’t thick enough to keep out the sound

Of the ghosts who dance outside my door

They feed upon the ground

They stepped on from the heavens

They reach up from the mud

Their eyes are empty

They are looking for blood

There was a lady, she lived next door

She ain’t living anywhere anymore

No, she died slowly and full of pain

And I never saw her face and I never learned her name

But she visits me on some days

She asks me where I come from

She asks me why I stay

But she knows that I get scared at night and I lose my heart

See faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark

And I lose my mind between the front door and the car

But you cannot run from demons

They know just where you are

They know just where you are

And I come home

And I need your voice on the phone

I need your voice on the phone

I need your voice on the phone

I need your voice
