coming home

from the garages (learn nothing) by the garages

by Juniper-Rose Drown (@ap_pussyeatin)

step outside, it’s getting late
take in the snow on the ground 

i’m finally home, and i stay awake
too overwhelmed to close my eyes

i’ve been away, but now i’m back
and i remember how it hurts to be at home
i’m so scared and so alone

the tide is coming in too quick
the rules are changing and i miss
the quiet place where i was

why does this have to be so hard

there’s less snow, then before
the earth rejects my pleas for more

and how can i, choose between
a place that wants me dead, and a place that i’m unseen

i feel like nothing here has changed
the awful things all stayed the same
i guess i should’ve hoped for less

the tide is coming in too quick
the rules are changing and i miss
the quiet place where i was

why does this have to be so hard
 
i have to leave, nowhere to go
i’m getting chewed up real slow
head over shoulder, when is this over

i don’t have any time to think
my stomach starts to slowly sink
and i can’t feel the things i used to feel 

sometimes i don’t feel real

i’ve been away, but now i’m back
and i remember how it hurts to be at home
i’m so scared and so alone

the tide is coming in too quick
sometimes i think i might be sick
and i can’t feel the things i used to feel 

sometimes i don’t feel real
