Stay At Home Promise
Time to go
Away from a breaking home
To see what I adored as pretty
But I stand underneath the podium
Looking at leather shoes and golden revenues
Taunted by a lingering promise
That I would be there with a soul
Sadly it was a lie
I wear the blue collar tie
Dying comes with every second gone by
Back to the home I go
To find it tampered with and shallow
And finally I see
There's nothing I can understand
Without cutting off my own head
