Genesis Be - Home Sick Lyrics

The closest we come to divinity
Your hand in mine
My mind a blank slate
Stuck in that state
Before I knew the world that I know
Back when things were new, simple and sweet
Something is wrong here
I don't belong here
I just keep painting and writing my songs here
Maybe she'll reach out to me
When I'm gone
Down in the dirt and I'm done here
Cause I cannot live for the clout
Money and the fame
Don't take away shame
Don't take away doubt
There's too much corruption
And I cannot function
I call my girl to tell her I love her
I'm leaving tonight
I'm in search of another
Beloved
Why's it so hard to treat people with dignity
I wanna leave and just live in infinity
I need a world that can match my serenity
Lawd

I know I'm not the only one
Who feels something is wrong
No, I'm not the only one
Who feels so far from home
One day they'll look back at my poetry
And finally know me
One day they'll look back at my letters
And finally see
One day they'll look back at my poetry
And finally know me
One day she'll look back at my letters
And finally see

Something ain't right
Why are they constantly dimmin my light
Put me in boxes
And label my life
She gay or she straight?
She black or she white?
But I'm made from the stars
A human the angels have carved into flaws
Born in December
I'll die for the cause
Throw me on stages with rounds of applause
Lawd
Death and destruction
Fighting and bickering
Everyone yellin'
Ain't nobody listenin'
There's no regard for the human condition
Our leaders betray us
Get paid in commission
Listen
Why's it so hard to treat people with dignity
I wanna leave and just live in infinity
I need a world that can match my serenity
Lawd

I know I'm not the only one
Who feels something is wrong
No, I'm not the only one
Who feels so far from home
One day they'll look back at my poetry
And finally know me
One day they'll look back at my letters
And finally see
One day they'll look back at my poetry
And finally know me
One day she'll look back at my letters
And finally see
