Dread of Quiet Living

I. Home

Right off the pen
Off my discontent
The worst of my thoughts
Right off the pen
The burning of lands my hatred in words

I salute you quiet living
Next time I see you
My life won't need me
I salute you my lover
Next time you see me
I'll bring you flowers

My lies through big words
Are gonna take me far
I won't deny that my big words are Gonna take me far

You tell me:
-Not inside, not inside my home
Not inside, not inside my heart-

Right off the pen
the sign of a man who took it far

I salute you quiet living
Next time you see me
My life won't need me

My lies through big words
Are gonna take me far
I won't deny that my big words are Gonna take me far

You tell me:
-Not inside, not inside my heart!-
You tell me "not inside my Home"

Oh what have I become?
None of all words known to mankind
Has hurt me like my name does while
Pronounced by your lips
But despised by your heart
