Welcome Home by Radical Face

Sleep don't visit, so I (1)__________ on sun, and the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with (2)____________ I've never done

Sheets are (3)______________ from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was (4)__________ much, but we've made the most
Welcome home

Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what (5)__________ I've lost

Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need (6)________ anymore
You can throw (7)________ out or (8)________ them in your mason jars
I've come home

All my nightmares (9)____________ my head
Bar the door, please don't let (10)________ in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can

Here, beneath my lungs
I feel your thumbs
Press into my skin again
