This home has never felt so unfamiliar
Now that you've gone away
These ghosts echo in the empty space
All alone, what was once a greater picture
Is now a vacant frame
Just left to wither and wane
Feeling strained, crawling on my knees against
This endless grain and dragging feet at the expense
Of progress in any way
And it's funny how the tables have turned
And the advice that you gave me is now mine to give to you
A fathers love in four simple words
Forever keeping me, can now keep you too
And even after your departure
I swear I can hear you say
"Be good, be safe"
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
