Just East of nowhere

Where are you from they ask me must come from somewhere I live in exile I live in fear when will you finally land ? they ask did you unpack yet ? they ask they think I understand But they can see it's just a mask? I am from just east of nowhere Not going anywhere anytime soon I am from just east of nowhere I'm going back before the flowers reach their bloom I strive to understand your ways I mirror your accent I spend all my days blending in like any other girl deep down knowing I'm not part of your world I am from just east of nowhere Not going anywhere anytime soon I am from just east of nowhere I'm going back before the flowers reach their bloom I am home sick for a place anywhere but here this I know longing for a welcoming stable place to go where my nervous system can rest so I continue my quest ..... I am from just east of nowhere Not going anywhere anytime soon I am from just east of nowhere I'm going back before the flowers reach their bloom I am from just east of no where I am from just east of no where I am from just east of no where Words and Music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music
