DON'T FEEL LiKE HOME ANYMORE

male voice, deep, powerful, country, heartfelt, sad, male vocals, emotional, guitar

Laundry light glowing, daughters asleep,
arrive home late, double shifts all week
boots by the door, weight in my chest,
same house, same roof, but my head won’t rest.
I live under the same roof, but it don’t feel like home,
same walls around me but I still feel alone,
mask on for the daylight, calm in my stride
outside standing solid while I break inside
Back in Queensland, walking side by side
talking too much while the world rolled by,
turned around laughing  there you were below,
fell in the ditch and I didn’t even know.
Dirt on your clothes, laughing till we cried,
funny how the little moments stay alive,
cause now I replay memories when the nights get cold.
Put my pain into songs so i dont drown in alcohol
Same roof, same walls, but it don’t feel like home anymore,
silence in the hallway, shadows near the door,
madness in my mind, fading echoes of time,
trying to hold steady while I’m walking this line.
Sitting in darkness, draugrs close behind,
talking to Storm while I unravel my mind,
outside I look strong, inside tears pour....
same roof, same life… but it ain’t home anymore.
When times were low, I stayed in the fight,
Through the hardest storms, long exhausting nights,
When the pressure was heavy, couldn't get through the day,
I worked, cooked, cleaned, tried to carry the weight.
Driving through the darkness, out in the rain,
Home-cooked meals while I buried my pain,
Never asked for medals, never counted the cost
Just trying to protect what I feared could be lost
Then my own world cracked, heart giving out
mind running circles full of fear and doubt,
I needed an anchor while I sorted my head,
but somewhere in the silence,something broke instead
My little girl says, Dad, can i get a motorbike one day?
I smile and laugh, don’t know what to say,
cause she still sees me standing where I’ve always been,
while I’m fighting battles nobody’s seen.
Same roof, same walls, but it don’t feel like home anymore,
silence in the hallway, shadows near the door
madness in my mind, fading echoes of time
trying to hold steady while I’m walking this line.
Sitting in darkness, draugrs close behind,
talking to Storm while I unravel my mind
outside I look strong, inside tears pour
same roof, same life… but it ain’t home anymore.
You helped pull me up when darkness had my name,
I ain’t forgot that, and I won’t throw blame,
but pain cuts deeper when love changes form,
so I sit with my ghosts… and talk to Storm.
And talk to Storm.
