Destination Home (Original) - Sean O'Reilly - Live at the Limelight - 12-12-09

An original song performed at the Limelight

learned a lot today
bout the price I'd pay
to be what I'm not
and of battles best left forgotten

wrote a song today
the words so dark and grey
with a refrain so full of dismay
it sounds like
a suicide poem
ends with
I'm going home
I'm heading back home
packed all I own
one way flight
headed home
I'm heading back home

was at the devil's toll
trying to pedal a piece of my soul
he said boy you must be mistaken
I could fill a black hole
with all the sinners I still need to unload
before i buy what you've nearly forsaken

stock's high sales slow
turn round and get on home
get on back home
don't be so blind
seek and you'll find it back home
you'll find it back home

so I'm headed back home
where there's still some sunshine with this rain
that's been digging ditches in my brain
back home
to that cynical sad failing daydream of a boy I used to know
I still love him so
I'm headed back home

left an angel town
and here the demons wear the crown
they've got the keys to my kingdom
you know their not so bad
sometimes I think
their the best friends I'll ever have
they knew where i belong
when they said

fly where the wind blows
turn round and we'll be waiting back home
we're in the dresser drawers of your mind
the crassness you'd thought best refined
the victims of your greatest crimes
and all you'd hoped to leave behind
we've got a room if you're so inclined
with all the love you'll ever find
and we're home
we've always been home

they said come on back home
so I'm headed back home.

This is a great song! Honest writing is hard to come by in an age where sex is the most highly paid for commodity

[courxcore]

you sound much better when you keep to your own music.
