This song is Part 2, following the song "Camelot" from "I Have No Home Planet" It was written about a year later. Listening to them back to back might be cool
lyrics
The fire’s been pissed out and
We always had our doubts but
Where do we run to now?
We may have been lost but look what we’ve found
We were livin’ the dream but
We woke up cold and alone
Hiding in our comfort zones
Our house is full but noone’s home
We’re all standing still
But we’re all on the run
We’ve had our fun and that’s pretty clear
From the smell of stale beer and the lingering fears
The neighbors all hate us
They don’t even know our names
Our community is at stake
In a maze of locks and gates
This house is cracking at it’s foundations
And I wish that was only a metaphor
But with one false move we’ll all fall through the floor
Buried under the rubble, good thing we never lock the door
Sweeping the floor I found a note
From friends I’ll never see again that said
Thanks for letting us crash the show was great
But now we’ve gotta be on our way
Our resolutions were never met
Were all still smoking cigarettes
But we aren’t dead yet
No matter how hard we try we aren’t dead yet
No we aren’t dead yet
I wish I could say the same for all of our friends
Some of them are actually dead
Some of them have been taken away some of them fled
Some of them just lost touch
Some got lost in that wonderlust
But I still love you all the same
That love remains
Somewhere in the back of my brain
and I guess that’s enough
It’s been great to have a place to rest
But lately I’ve been feeling restless
From my bed I see nothing new
Im tired of lists telling me what to do
This house is a wreck
My life is a mess
But I’m not dead yet
Where do I run to next?
