lyrics

i'm staying home
in the murderous home
learning to live
growing at last

it takes time
to finally settle down
in a haven
where i would feel at peace

it takes time
to become a man
just to become someone
in the murderous home


learning from guilt
not to hurt
not to abandon
not to lose

learning from loss
to grow a heart
to learn how to care
to become innocuous

i'm learning to feel
so i won't be a knife
so i won't smell the blood
and inevitably lose


i'm staying home
walking in the night
elsewhere life goes by
and i'll go when i'm ready

i won't leave
because i feel my heart swelling
would it wither there with them
whom i overly admire ?

empty city
i'll master your misery
so anywhere i could be
i will be O.K. with me
