Homeward Bound in Pixels

Verse 1

Carved out my days in the dust and the rain

Words were my shelter, my joy, and my pain

Arcades of memory, flicker and fade

Bound by my choices, the ones that I made

Pre-Chorus

Broken but steady, a flickering light

Passion runs deeper the darker the night

Chorus

For my obituary, just say I tried to be kind

But I’d hold the line, when I had to draw mine

Remember some laughter, the roads we would roam

My heart left with stories, my soul always home

Verse 2

Late-night shadows lit by the blue of a screen

Turns and trials in pixelated dreams

A pen in my fingers, creating my worlds

Fire in my silence as memories unfurled

Pre-Chorus

Time’s breaking tide, it carries what we hold

Bittersweet traces, the brave and the bold

Chorus

For my obituary, just say I tried to be kind

But I’d hold the line, when I had to draw mine

Remember some laughter, the roads we would roam

My heart left with stories, my soul always home

Post-Chorus

Ooh-oh

Ooh-oh

Ooh-ohh

Bridge

Pages I turned still smudged by the rain

Game after game, searching for meaning in pain

I counted my losses, found hope in defeat

The wild southern sky at my back, never retreat

Verse 3

So sing for the moments we fought to defend

For the graceless defeats and the message I send

If you speak of my story when the sun finally sets

Say I lived for the words, and I carried no regrets

Chorus

For my obituary, just say I tried to be kind

But I’d hold the line, when I had to draw mine

Remember some laughter, the roads we would roam

My heart left with stories, my soul always home

Post-Chorus

Ooh-oh

Ooh-oh

Ooh-ohh
