Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
People actin' like they lost their soul
And everywhere I go, I see another person like me
Tryna make it all feel like home
[Verse 2]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
People actin' like they lost their soul
And everywhere I go, I see another person like me
Tryna make it all feel like home
[Verse 3]
Standing on the bridge in the dark
And I'm seein' my breath
Tryna make it home without freezing to death
And my grandfather's face is stuck in my mind
And how seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time
I shoulda brought a jacket
Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill
I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill
Thinking, laying in that box, people look so still
At times like these, you start thinking
Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking
I'm not tryna bum anyone out
Not tryna be dramatic, just thinking out loud
I'm just tryna make some sense in my mind
Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside
And for a minute, escape with some rhythm and rhyme
And get away from the gray, just a bit at a time
[Verse 4]
Yeah, kinda funny how this world can treat ya
Like a freak in a side show, a carnival creature
Climbin' outta cans, I'm a diamond in the sand
But you can't tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones
My life's like tryna swallow a pinecone
It's tough when you live fast, just to die slow
Talk to dial tones, my dreams are far fetched
It seems, so I sleep underneath this park bench
[Verse 5]
I know it don't make sense
And I don't expect for you to know what it's like
To smoke, drink, piss, sniffin' everything in my sight
Push rocks in a pipe
Lift off, I'll keep puffin' till my lips turn white
And my chest gets tight
But who the fuck really cares
When you're so far left that even death looks right
All I can do is hope for the best and pray
That it gets a little better than yesterday
[Verse 6]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
People actin' like they lost their soul
And everywhere I go, I see another person like me
Tryna make it all feel like home
[Verse 7]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
People actin' like they lost their soul
And everywhere I go, I see another person like me
Tryna make it all feel like home
[Verse 8]
Yo, pardon me, I think I'm next to Earl
Too many problems going on, that's why I left my girl
Packed my bags, and I travel with a pen and my notepad
Pissed that I was broke and all the things that I don't have
But still, I try to find a way to escape
From all the hate planted in my head which led to mistakes
But now I'ma breakin' the mold, see I was patient and calm
Many sleep in the rain, but I'm awake in the storm
Writing my life in a short film, the rise and fall
How I managed to scorch hills and climb the wall
Pound pavement endless in this cold existence
Even though things are changing, I'm going the distance
Overcoming the depth that had control for so long
I put it all behind me, 'cause life still goes on
Now I'm much stronger and know where I stand
Where lost souls search over and over again
[Verse 9]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
People actin' like they lost their soul
And everybody's tryin' not to cry
Tryna get by
Tryin' not to feel outta control
And if you look hard enough, sometimes you'll find
A place that might just remind you of home
But if it doesn't feel like home, you can do what I do
Just pretend you don't feel so alone
[Verse 10]
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
Feel like home
