Long Way From Home

  • Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
    God and medicine take no mercy on him
    Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
    Enough is enough, he's a long way from home

    Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
    Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
    I flew far away, as far as I could go
    Your time is running out
    And I'm a long way from home

    Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
    Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
    I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
    You're right next to me
    But you're a long way from home

    Hospital gowns never fit like they should
    We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
    More morphine, the last words you moaned
    At last I was sure
    That you weren't far away from home Writer/s: Jeremy Fraites, Wesley Schultz
