The First Time You Left Home Lyrics

The first time you left home

You were naked, slimy, still attached

And you didn't have a single word to scream about that

Well, sure as hell you scream

And now that you're alone again

You feel naked, slimy, still attached

You struggle to find the words to speak about where you're at

Well, maybe nothing's changed

But to be honest there's this newfound and vaguely dreadful sense that

Maybe nothing changes

Well, how about that?

You walk out that silvery door

Where's the sting?

Where's the fire and rain?

In the heat of summer you just sweat all through the day

You sure tethered something strange

In the roar of the passing trucks you can't hear your breath

While you would hear the scream

Well, how about that?

There is nothing obvious about that

Well, I don't know when

But I know that this is happening again

I said I know that this is happening again

And maybe there's no shame

In being caught in a loop at the end

I said I'm feeling caught in a loop at the end

But it's just the beginning

Well, how about that?

There is nothing obvious about that
