Hiraeth - Halcyon Days

the whole world lives inside my house

but I haven’t seen anyone in a while

shut my eyes as I walk across the street

to show that

I have faith in me

I have faith in me

I have faith in me

I have faith in me

we have all tried building houses before

watched them crumble in the scores

broken the hammers and worn out the saws

we only own what we buy, but when you’re old and alone that’s nothing at all

we only reap what we sow, but when you’re dust, so is your crop

were all hiding in half a bottle

full when the struggle started

empty, when the battles over.

mine’s now empty but I feel far from battle-worn

just torn

bursting at the seams

never have I seen this light of day

as we take away from our dreams and change

I’m planning the next great escape

one where I can look myself in the face

the house we built is without a single crooked nail

what you should have done is not just a missed oppurtunity

but a disease that lingers

linger to long and it becomes an infected thorn

to many thorns amounts to a

life

spent

counting

them

all

I’m planning the next great escape

we have all tried building houses before

watched them crumble in the scores

broken the hammers and worn out the saws

we only own what we buy, when you’re old and alone thats nothing at all

we only reap what we sow, when you’re dust, so is your crop
