This House is Not a Home

Did you stay too long?
This house is not a home
The people here before you
None of them were true

Did you see them cry
As they passed you by?
Did you lose that will

Could you write this wrong
Or has it been too long
The people who enthrall you
Smother you with proof

Could you see their eyes
As they told you lies
Did you lose that will to survive?

And I pray for the day
The sea can stand still
And the wind surrender to cries
Of things unchanged
And people unwilled
Did you lose that will
Did you stay too long?
This house is not a home
The people here before you
None of them were true
Did you see them cry as they passed you by?
Did you lose that will survive?

And I pray for the day
The sea can stand sill
And the wind surrender to cries
Of things unchanged
And people unwilled
Did you lose that will to survive?

She who lies in their eyes
Did you lose that will to survive?

Still I'm not resolved
And still I live with this comfort
I still want to say

Did you stay too long?
Did you stay too long
Did you stay too long
This house is not a home
Did you lose that will to survive
