A Home - Rivers of Nihil

The day, the day that you left here

A crown was placed upon me

I was the king of nothing

Inside this cell of skin

Thoughts like ice against the wall

In a home where lies taught us all

Relax into that place deep within

Deep in the skin, you know where you’ve been

Why don’t you sing to me a song of sanctuary?

You could have all you wanted

Sing

You could build it all from nothing

Sing to me

You can live a life alone

Sanctuary

But you can never call this

A home that’s beneath us

Somewhere the light won’t reach us

The sky and the earth that birthed you

Just another burden that hurts, too

Much to say, just separate from all

These faces you cannot recall

I’d do the same, and leave just how I came

King for today

But a fool forever

Relax, and come on home

You could have all you wanted

Sing

You could build it all from nothing

Sing to me

You can live a life alone

Sanctuary

But you can never call this home

You can never call this home

Relax deep within

Inside this cell of skin

You can never call this home

King today

Fool forever

You could have all you wanted

You could build it all from nothing

You can live a life alone

But you can never call this home
