Vacant Lyrics

No home

You're putting yourself through this hell on earth

You're trading your youth for smoke

Couch surf the last of your twenties, stuck in a big haze

Now, I see your mum with her cold blank stare, fixed on that old black chair you used to Spend your days in, but you've since instead been vacant

Oh, he's just experimenting, trying new things

But her words don't reflect her eye rings or her facial expressions, not a mask for her Complex depression

So, will you accept my hand when I offer to drive to the Northern Clinic?

And borrow you a new sense of courage and commit yourself to therapy and motivation?

I'm sorry that I let you down

I'm sorry for letting you go

It's such a shame it feels like you've passed, the point that we can look back and laugh

At the things that you said when you were young and naïve

It's getting harder to imagine you back to your old self with your soul still attached to your head

But instead you were lead to this end

I forgot your smile

You're not here, anymore

Closed blinds, you're not letting anybody in

Red eyes, tell you've been up for days again

Your changed face, tells a story of anguish and pain

You know I love you, but you need to get up out of your bed

Cut ties, with the circle you're stuck inside

Decide how you really want to spend your time

Disguise, your demise but I still see my friend

I want to help you, but you need to grab a hold of my hand

Go home

Your mother's waiting, she's been worried since the day that you left

Go home

Your neighbour's cat still scratches at the back door waiting for you

Cause we'll still always love you

Cause we'll still always love you

It's such a shame it feels like you've passed, the point that we can look back and laugh at the things that you said

You were nineteen

Cause we're just seeking clarity, in disparity

I can talk you down but it still won't bring you home

And it's still not enough to bring you back to us

Come home

Come home

Come home
