exploring the multiverses sound by sound and word by word
Story behind the song
story behind the song: much like chronic pain, the constant flux and flow of thought, from daydreams to nightmares, from hopes to self doubt and the ability of some thoughts to boomerang or have homing pidgeon tendancies
Lyrics
used to keep thoughts under tight control
now as it happens i just let them grow
no longer frightened of how life might change
no longer scared of all this nothing to say
sending them out on suicide missions
no longer asking or whether permitting
giving them all a life of their own
casting them out, letting them go
and then they left
and when they left
dark of soul and a little bit lonely
no more cougars when you're over thirty
someone to talk to now would be alright
into the wee hours, sometimes all night
the thoughts come back in all shapes and forms
can't always believe, they're so ripped and torn
some come back crying, some come back dead
zombified and horror fried, their graves in my head
and then they left,
and when they left
and when they left, i thought they'd leave me alone
but like demons and dogs they keep coming home
keep coming home
keep coming home
they keep coming home
and when they left, i thought they'd leave me alone
like salmon, hell spawned, they keep coming home
maybe later they will call in again
sometimes i even think they wanna be friends
can't say i know them all anymore
that's what happens when you open the door
sleep now and then, gotta like that
a little exercise, tongue wagging black
here's a thought and there goes one now
backpack or bindle, travels light anyhow
and when they left
yeah when they left, i thought they'd leave me alone
but they keep coming home
keep coming home
keep coming home
keep coming home
keep coming home
keep coming home ...
