Leaving Home - Cody Fry

I’ve lived a thousand place

I’ve looked for life in spaces

and empty rooms are all I’ve found

The world laid out before me

with everything I don’t need

Just when I thought I had to place to leave

Home is like an island and I’m at sea

Trying to pull it out but it’s pulling me

I could sail as far as the eye can see

Look behind and that island looks back at me

No matter how far I go, I can’t leave my home

I spend my whole life chasing

but nothing’s new and I’m tracing, tracing the lines right through the page

Yet I continue fighting

My pride is not surviving

Just when I thought that no one could save me

Home is like an island and I’m at sea

Trying to pull it out but it’s pulling me

I could sail as far as the eye can see

Look behind and that island looks back at me

No matter how far I go, I can’t leave my home

Home is like an island and I’m at sea

Trying to pull it out but it’s pulling me

I could sail as far as the eye can see

Look behind and that island looks back at me

No matter how far I go,

No matter how far I go,

No matter how far I go,

I’m I can’t leave my home
