Tethering - Truth Club

Yesterday I went home

Or at least

The place it’s supposed to be

And you weren’t there 

And I knew you wouldn’t be

The places I couldn’t help but see

We’re still there in suspended memory

It’s unspoken but always known

That a titan does not let go

Without slipping from forced command

Then the senses just seem to end*

There I am inside this town again

Reminded that it’s just a house

It’s just a street

There is nothing tethering my belief that

Something still waits here for me

And sometimes I really try

When I visit

To get what feels so lost

In the bedroom

Or the place where I grew up

Bed sits quiet and so is Ben*

My mom cooks breakfast while I sleep in

Still feels hollow

Like no end

And I realize and hope it ends

I found shelter

Blanket name*

Biking, driving fast down Holly* Street

Quill court* yelp on* and Market Street

Neighborhoods and where they lead

I am helpless now to be*

Tethering that neighboring

Oh I wish that I would let me go

So that I can finally let you go

If everyone’s supposed to leave

They will mock out* everything

At what point just won’t ya seem to—

Worn out

With nothing left as I try

Ah, yes, we will find

I’ll tune the —

Because who are you?

When you have nowhere by

And what is the place?

Without a flame by you*
