the home that never was

<sub>the home that never was
felt better than the one that was
spent my life protecting what i wouldnt let it turn to dust

kept pictures of the both of us
how a photograph preserves the ghost of us
snow on the lawn
coats in the closet warming up the skeletons

not a precious man
not prejudice
but i get just a little jealous when fellas wanna touch her melons
blinded by rage
tryna exit stage right
before a CORI come back a felon

whole life was robbed from us
what we wanted, was, but at the same time never was
i remember that house that was never a home
never felt right all alone

a house is not a home
it doesnt feel right, all alone

everything was stated right on paper
flaked paint and fake neighbors but i cant complain
even when its late at night
i dont hear the wolves howling at the moon no more

when im farther from the wild than ever before
went from the sun child to the emperor of a lopsided empire
cops tried to quench fire with fire
smiling under their own nystagmus

nostradamus couldnt predict this
already ran outa fortunes in centuries past
they knew about the plane crash
they knew how to sniff out the hash
but cant stop a shadow turning to ash

always waiting for the other shoe to drop
when you debut with a flop only place to shoot is up
always believed in beautiful stuff
always believed in me and you, love

a house is not a home
it doesnt feel right, all alone

lived in between so many walls
put the four horsemen in stalls
need floors for our child when he crawls
need a house without dolls

hate to think what they made of us
traded us like slaves on our maiden voyage
it made a man of me
still i pray to be a boy again

God knows we lived through so much
not boastful but a whole book aint enough to explore it
wanna leave an heirloom as a bridegroom
gotta repair the womb, like a Taurus

i got more than i wished
next time learn to be more specific
every bit makes a difference
in a heart that never was
four walls should be enough
to start a mission

a house is not a home
it doesnt feel right, all alone

a house is not a home
it doesnt feel right, all alone</sub>
