Slow Decay

It’s so good<br /> You looked so strong<br /> In that picture on the mantle<br /> You sent your mom when you were gone<br /> <br /> But you looked scared now<br /> Hollow eyed<br /> When are you coming?<br /> <br /> Back where you belong<br /> I swear that it’s safe here<br /> There’s nothing to fear at all<br /> <br /> Come on back<br /> Where you belong<br /> The pressure releases <br /> If you just let down your guard<br /> <br /> Everything rests on you<br /> You know that feeling well<br /> The ball is falling, falling, falling<br /> So far<br /> From a close call<br /> <br /> Your injuries aren’t mortal wounds<br /> The only thing that’s killing you<br /> Is what you saw<br /> And what you couldn’t stop<br /> <br /> Well, you’re nat the one I blame<br /> It wasn’t your mistake<br /> <br /> But your safe now so come home<br /> <br /> It’s simple things Dad<br /> I’m not hurt I’m not dead<br /> I just should be<br /> Where my friends are lying<br /> <br /> And I didn’t hate<br /> Those that I killed<br /> But they’re all dead now<br /> <br /> And I’m here alive<br /> With satellites<br /> And friday nights<br /> And no one to judge me<br /> Or the things that I’ve done at all<br /> <br /> So how can I live with that?<br /> <br /> Back where I belong<br /> You swear that it’s safe here<br /> There is nothing to fear at all<br /> <br /> Take me<br /> Back where I belong<br /> The pressure releases<br /> If I just let my guard down
