lyrics

"Never Coming Home (Song for the Guilty)"

The trains roll by my porch down here where nothing can live
And I've been smoking too much 'cause I am no exception
You knew that already, I think
If you want salvation then you ought to go see a priest
Because forgiveness from those that we hurt in this world
Never was guaranteed

I'm coming home, it's late again, I'm high as I've ever been
You're sitting up, you're in our bed, crying for a ghost again
No room can be as dark or as empty as ours is
But I'm not home, 'cause I'm not here, and I've never been

I wonder how many friends roll past my house in the night
In boxcars they sleep, their hearts stashed in their backpacks
They'll make California alright
A promise from me is just a lie I ain't told yet
So I'm ready to die but I'm not willing to watch
You watch me die here in our bed

I'm lying down, I've been nodding out since I don't know when
The lights are on, you're standing up and screaming at a ghost again
Darling, I'm home; no, I ain't left this house of ours in days
'Cause I'm not here, I never am, and I just can't stay

My darling, I'm never coming back from where I'm going
My darling, I'm never coming home
My darling, I'm never coming back from where I'm going
My darling, I'm never coming home,
Never coming home again.
