so this is home
this is the place where i belong
empires of people just like me
or like i used to be two years ago
this is home
this is the girl
the picture that i kept to keep alive
yes this is the girl but where's her smile
a sudden darkness in your eyes and where was i
when you sky clouded over
nine thousand miles
distance and time
i thought you were the people i left behind
so this is it
tell me now where can we go from this
has so much changed in just two years
am i a stranger here within these walls
are we all
yes in fact i really think we are
empires of people locked behind closed doors
with nowhere else to go
and nowhere to belong
so this is home

there isn't any food left
three days since they've gone
alphonso on the am
with the prospects of the dawn
dreaming of ferocious men
and hungry barbary lions
the blood shores of melilla
in the stars outside
so high
five points converge in the middle
chair drug from the kitchen
pressed against the boltless door
books pulled from the cabinet
scattered all across the floor
pictures drawn on looseleaf
all those figures dressed in white
they came like swallows and like swallows left
by night
coat mask and hat to the red cross
quiet
coat mask and hat to the red cross
five points converge in the middle
yellow lamplight shadow cats
skidding down the walls
and flickering indifferently away
maybe monsters linger
but street streamers lead the way
silent light and starry where they wait
coat mask and hat to the red cross...

we sought the warmest waters
we sought the gift of pripyat
we sought halibut, salmon, and caviar
setting our bait, casting our line
while those asleep around us
freshly settled pilgrims
light still glistening in their eyes
young explosions
the color of alarm
splitting open wide
to rise
oh metallic cloud
covering the sky
and it rained all night
and then there was light
and the dust settles on the river
our eyes blind in the frozen fog
hot ash peppering our hair
spilling out our everything
the fire in our bellies
the color of the night
splitting open wide
to rise
to fall
oh metallic cloud
all the promise
all the promises
covering the sky
and it rained all night
