Scared of Coming Home

Aligned all your trophies
on the table in the living room
for you to pick them up
A crumpled note still in the handbag on the windowsill
I didn't feel a thing
The trees are shaking in the wind
A rope for my eyes
The room stays silent while we eat
I stare outside
I heard you crying from downstairs
I know you didn't want me to hear
And I know you're scared of coming home
To funeral eyes and pitiful smiles
I know you're trying not to call they've torn a hole
Into this home
And it swallowed all of you
me and my family have nothing to share
but blood and history
And a compulsive obligation to care
But that's probably just my point of view
Yeah that's probably just my point of view
I'm avoiding the ones who love me
I'm avoided by the ones I love
And I know you're scared of coming home
To funeral eyes and pitiful smiles
it ain't easy letting go
They've torn a hole
Into this home
And it swallowed all of you
Everyone is asking me how you feel
I don't think I'm the right one to talk to
For every call I'm answering there's a few that I don't I wonder if you noticed
Everyone is running their mouth
About the people I love
And you keep asking why I'm always so silent?
I'm avoiding the ones who love me
I'm avoided by the ones I love

Airport (Night II)

I was mumbling curse words
While walking home
You pushed me aside
You stared at the storm
That night the rain fell so loud
It drowned out all your sighs
I was waiting for it to end
So I could leave this place behind
I was running in circles
Searching for excuses
I could tell myself to justify that I didn't get anywhere in these past few months
I was waiting for sunrise
In an airport with no name
I spent the whole night
Thinking of your face
I missed my flight back home and
It kind of felt right
I searched for familiar faces I could pretend not to recognize
I was staring at flight plans
Without a certain thought
But some scenarios of you stumbling around
I've been called homesick
I've been called hopeless
I've been called weak
I've been called selfish
I've been called helpless
I've been called shy
I've been called anxious
I've been called downcast
I've been called lost and miserable

Shutters

I wrote your name on the back of every picture and turned all of them around
I took a walk through the backyards of the street when all the shutters were down
We all differ from each other but we are all the same when the lights go out
It's all a matter of perspective what you can see in the clouds
I've stopped talking about extremes
Please tell me all about your dreams
There's a time of the day where the light has already faded but the dark hasn't come
I am a feather floating through the grey, endlessly searching for a place to stay
Rip me Open with your claws and spread colour into these pale days
If only one of us can live then why did we both decide to fade away?
I've stopped talking about extremes
Please tell me all about your dreams
Where's the love that you believed in?
If I'm the killer, you're the knife
If I'm the victim, you're the knife
There are stones beneath our feet but I'm not the one who threw them
There are stones above our heads and I swear the people lying there, I knew them
