Come Home - Rory Rodriguez

I will run

Through the sun lit smoke

To feel the touch I know

To escape the pain that shows

If I run

Till my lungs let go

Will I reach where I must go

Why do we run from the pain we love?

With fluttering eyes

Memories brush and they pass

Then settle with the dirt all around me

Patiently wait for my return to the earth

All that is and ever was fills the space around me

I can only wonder what the sky feels like

The more I touch the less seems real fooled by all around me

This glasshouse is no longer real

Am I nothing?

Am I something?

Am I nothing?

Am I something?

Run until my lungs give up

Leaving all the ones I love

No I’ll never have to feel it

How the end is not the purpose

Run until my lungs give up

Chasing down a hollow sun

No I’ll never have to feel it

How it hurts to never reach the end
