inside and out, holding on your window pane
i will guide you home, we will guide you home
broken and battered and bruised and blistered
torn and tattered and long forgotten
give this to me, help me feel anything
still the ravens cry on ivory towers high
echoing the sounds that humans make
still i can see, beauty in a willow tree
i won't fear the night, we won't fear the night
homeless and helpless but holding on to
pieces of fabric and portions of posture
you left behind for me with wondering eyes, wondering, I
slowly fade away from where we used to play
lord knows that these woods aren't home no more
take me in, to the place where i'll begin
rain falls, and i can't sleep without your warmth
please believe me, if only you had eyes to see
i would fly away, we would fly away
and every time i peer, you are never here
and i find that this house is not a home
