You Moved Back West

You stopped to stare at passing trains
Softly shared thoughts you’d entertained
You said your name and all the weight
Back home had made you feel ashamed

But there's no home for you here that's certainly clear
Your tongue’s foreign to everyone

You said you only recognize
Yourself when you're online
And with your mind only partly there
Your mouth says things you’ll regret

So there’s no home for you here that’s crystal clear
Your words shocked your peers you’re a fucking queer
It crashed your hope within a year
And left you scared it brought you near death
You think you’ll see her now and then but that’s not you dear
She’s gone not fit for anyone

So you'll either die here or move back west
Lose your say, let god have his way
Maybe then you can be that daughter, the sister they wanted
Play along and die that way
I know I don't get a say
But please brother stay
