Lyrics Homecoming - System Syn

You said you're sure I'd understand
But you know god damn well
That's a burden you can't give and walk away from
I guess I'll know when he comes home
If you're alive or if you're gone
So thank you for the time I have to wait

Won't you stay a little longer?
Before you leave us all
If these words could reach you fast enough
If my fingers would not bleed upon these chords
You might come home

Am I a coward?
Was I born to run away?
Steal the light from other men
A soulless narcissist cliché
And what good have I done
That I should be alive today?
I am a coward
I was born to run away

And have I always been so cold
That you could trust me with this cross?
You feel we're so connected
And it scares me
Just like it always does
With everyone else
Won't you stay a little longer
In the emptiness of now
Until my words can reach your ears
Until my fingers bleed upon these chords
There is no home
There is no home

Am I a coward?
Was I born to run away?
Steal the light from other men
A soulless narcissist cliché
And what good have I done
That I should be alive today?
I am a coward
I was born to run away

I'm sure you understand
I'm sure you understand
I'm sure you understand
I'm sure you understand
