My Only Home - As I Lay Dying

Like a swarm of flies colliding with a moving windshield

So are our lives on this never-ending road

I have left behind my mark only to later be washed away

And was consumed with the allure despite the inevitable decay

When did the road that I’m on become my only home?

When did this become the one place I truly know?

(I truly know)

A journey making us like weeds

Where the wind steals our splendor

But spreads it to the distant fields

Despite our fragile imperfections

Yet shaking walls and wearing wheels

Can never capture my heart the way you do

When did the road that I’m on become my only home?

(my only home)

When did this become the one place I truly know?

I am missing what makes me whole
