lyrics

I'm having trouble finding sleep, finding peace
it evades me once again, I watch it slip through
my fingers.
Drowning in an ocean of bedsheets
a burning in my lungs
watch the ceiling sky collapse through waves of
solemn isolation
as I commit myself to sinking
where your voice can't reach me.
Outside my door the hall continues breathing
life into the walls that shape the rooms of the house.
Do the pictures hanging in their frames show me
what I am, or what I was?
What have I become?
O, to name my burden
this weight around my neck
to be free of this anchor
that holds me to this bed.
My life can be mapped out within ten blocks.
I mark the years by summers spent with
family, friends, and books.
But I feel like something's missing
there must be something more.
I think I need to open up my door.
I need to see this house that built me,
be reminded of the love that wrapped itself
around me whenever I was lost.
I need to hear the sounds of trains ring through
Maxine before I leave.
So here I am, walking on the same route
that I've followed for years, to the edge of town
passed everything I know
and still further I go.
I think I'll leave part of me behind,
the best of me to live within my shelves.
I'll be felt throughout the house,
with no more to take and nothing to be held
I won't let you watch me sink,
this burden is my own.
I won't forget Maxine Street.
I won't forget my home.
