Lyrics

Don't feel like home

Feeling of not being at home.

Ease a little out

Gradually easing out.

And all these words alone is nothing like a poem

Words alone lack the depth of a poem.

Putting in, inputting in

Inputting or contributing something.

Don't feel like methadone

Not providing comfort like methadone.

A scratching voice all alone is nothing like your baritone

A lonely scratching voice doesn't compare to a rich baritone.


It's nothing as it seems

Things are not what they appear to be.

The little that he needs

Minimal necessities.

It's home

Home is not a typical, comforting place.

The little that he sees

Perception is limited.

Is nothing he concedes

Refusing to acknowledge certain realities.

It's home

Despite challenges, it's still considered home.


One uninvited chromosome

An unexpected genetic anomaly.

A blanket like the ozone

A covering, like the ozone layer.


It's nothing as it seems

Reality differs from appearance.

All that he needs

Basic necessities are deceptive.

It's home

Despite flaws, it's still considered home.

The little that he frees is nothing he believes

Freedom is not always in alignment with belief.


Saving up a sunny day

Anticipating a better day.

Something maybe two tone

Something possibly two-toned, uncertain ownership.

Anything of his own

Possession of anything personal.

A chip off the corner stone

A small piece of a larger foundation.

Who's kidding, rainy day

Deceptive optimism on a rainy day.

A one way ticket headstone

A one-way journey, possibly towards an end.

Occupations overthrown

Overthrow of established occupations.

Whisper through a megaphone

A subtle message amplified.


It's nothing as it seems

Reality is not apparent.

The little that he needs

Minimal requirements for existence.

It's home

Despite limitations, it's still home.

The little that he sees

Limited perception.

Is nothing he concedes, it's home

Unwillingness to accept certain truths, yet it's home.


And all that he frees

Freedom has a tinge of bitterness.

A little bittersweet

A small, mixed emotion of home.

It's home

Despite complexities, it's home.

It's nothing as it seems

Reality contrasts with perception.

The little that you see it's home

What is seen is considered home.
