A Home for Strays

I lost a guiding light But you still pretend I’ve lost my mind Cuz I danced with suicide When the pain was shining oh so bright You ran to hide You wouldn’t let me talk about it You watched as darkness crept in Left me alone and judged my sins Maybe I’m crazy but that’s not kin Still you wonder why I cannot stay I won’t stick around to watch you crucify me This time I’m on my way And I won’t be back again I’m building a home for strays If you’re the black sheep you’re just like me Too many things have changed And the only place for me Is inside this home for strays If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me You cast me out, threw me to the wind Hardly a care if I could rise again So don’t ask me why I cannot stay I never belonged here anyway I won’t survive this hollow family This time I’m on my way And I won’t be back again I’m building a home for strays If you’re the black sheep you’re just like me Too many things have changed And the only place for me Is inside this home for strays If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me I’ve tried to explain The weight of the pain But you can’t hear me Nothing will ever take away From the gifts you gave me But neither can sorry erase The ways you plagued me So now I’m a stray This time I’m on my way And I won’t be back again I’m building a home for strays If you’re the black sheep you’re just like me Too many things have changed And the only place for me Is inside this home for strays If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me If you’re the black sheep you know where to find me Inside this home for strays
