Send Me Home
Journey Beyond: Craving Release from Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Rooms full of spirits surround me
Surrounded by the presence of spirits or memories in the rooms
They're as real as they can be
The spirits are vivid and genuine in their impact
Every morning I plant my shaky feet
Starting the day with unsteady steps on a harsh and challenging earth
On an earth so hard and mean
Describing the tough and unforgiving nature of life
Body's broken, systems fail
Physical body is damaged, and bodily functions are deteriorating
You care for me to no avail
Despite care, there's no improvement or benefit
No reward, no, its not fair
No recognition or compensation for the struggles
And I'd be on my way if I wasn't so damn scared
Expressing a desire to leave, but fear holds back
Oh, will you send me home?
Pleading to be sent home
Will you send me home?
Repetition of the request to be sent home
I can't go but I can't go on
Unable to continue, stuck in a difficult situation
I want to stay but I ain't got long
Wishing to stay, but acknowledging the limited time
Will you send me home?
Reiterating the plea to be sent home
Time to move on
Indicating a need to move on from the current state
Every morning I'm in pain
Experiencing pain every morning
I weep to greet the day
Expressing sorrow upon facing each new day
Get me out of this wretched shell
Desiring liberation from the suffering body
Crack me open, wish me well
Symbolically asking for good wishes as one faces change
Put me in a simple box in a patch of dirt
Desiring a simple burial and a peaceful resting place
Send me on to greener pastures, won't be the worst
Expressing that moving on would not be the worst outcome
Whatever comes is mine and mine alone
Accepting whatever fate comes, emphasizing individual ownership
And if I have to ask you, will you send me home?
Possibly seeking reassurance or permission to depart
Oh, will you send me home?
Repeating the plea to be sent home
Will you send me home?
Emphasizing the urgency of the request
I can't go but I can't go on
Feeling unable to continue but unable to stay
I want to stay but I ain't got long
Expressing the desire to remain despite limited time
Will you send me home?
Reiterating the plea to be sent home
