Forever Homed

Forever Homed
Phantoms form tumours in the night
Blood is staining so many homes
You can try not to think about it
Ignorance will force it to grow

I can feel the world crying, she's rattling and shaking
All at once was too much pain to bear
Bearing the unbearable, buried beneath her skin
She tried to release them, wrath brought more death

I bear all anger, I trust resentment
There's purity in the abandonment of what she gave us
I was not taught how to work with my resources
I can not promise that I'll be the one to save us
Yet I lay and I cherish the grass, I do not know when my last night will be
That is why I gaze longingly at the stars wondering if they remember me
That's why I stare into the forest, that is why I come and go
There's something out there, in the woods or the sky
There's an anger no one's ever known

Where I lie there is gratitude, trapped on this untrustworthy planet
This world has done nothing for me yet I'm thankful for what it has shown
Somehow I still love this home and everything that it has taught me
A tombstone sleeping far away, I'm wondering if it lays alone
There's something out there, in ParaBomber at night
There's a lurking loyalty strong and overgrown
I carry no reason to thank the floor, yet still I have learnt to love these walls
And even though they're painted with viscera

I have found my forever home
