Not Coming Home

from Songs I Swore I'd Never Sing by Benjamin Tod

/

lyrics

Can you give me all I need the innocence and purity I crave
I’ve been climbing desperately to a mountain top I haven’t seen for days
An honest life I simply can’t sustain
Coming home today

All that’s left inside of me couldn’t bring an heirloom seed to bloom
I’ve only kept enough to plead for something that I can’t believe is true
My goodbye may not be when you choose
Coming home soon

Follow me through empty streets and bridges burned for hell to heed my
fate
I never wanted you to see the evil I could never keep erased
Patient like a diamond in the slate
Coming home late

Something pulls me from the clay I can’t make another day alone
I can’t even speak your name are you just a thing to claim and hold
Notarize my deed and watch me go
Not coming home
