distant shore

everyone knows

that there's no place like home

but i'm just seeking refuge

in a world full of storms

washed up on a distant shore

can't go home anymore

the natives are hostile

whatever i say

the thing they fear most is

that i might want to stay

by their side on a distant shore

can't go home anymore

i escape my tormentors

by crossing the sea

what i cannot escape is

memory

far away on a distant shore

can't go home anymore
