Headless Relatives - Homesick Lyrics

Drowning in the quiet
Of another lonely day
My head is hanging low
With the words I'll never say
And the crickets in the woods
And the questions in my brain
Are harmonizing now
And it's driving me insane

I pour another drink
The spirits mock my fear
They won't let me forget
That I'm not wanted here
The vodka burns like Hell
Almost makes me feel at peace
But the lightning bugs outside
Make me ill at ease

It's not the demons that I fear
They won't attack their own
Set a place for me in Hell
Someday I'll be home

The voices in the night
Are calling me by name
But I don't really mind
I'm kind of glad they came
I'll exercise my demons
Let them stretch their wings
They've been kept inside too long
And I know confinement stings

I've been secluded in the dark
Because the light it burns my eyes
And the sun's accusing stare
Cuts through my disguise
But the face beneath my mask
Is faded from disuse
And my horns are pointing in
I feel at home with self abuse

It's not the demons that I fear
They won't attack their own
Set a place for me in Hell
Someday I'll be home
