Never Coming Home (song For The Guilty)

Intro: Verse: The trains roll by my porch Down here where nothing can live And I've been smoking too much Because I am no exception You knew that already, I think If you want salvation Then you ought to go see a priest 'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt In this world never was guaranteed I'm coming home, it's late again I'm high as I've ever been You're sitting up, you're in our bed Crying for a ghost again No room could be as dark Or as empty as ours is 'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here And I never am Verse: I wonder how many friends Roll past my house in the night? In boxcars they sleep With hearts stashed in their backpacks They'll make California all right A promise from me Is just a lie I ain't told yet So I'm ready to die But I'm not willing to watch You watch me die here in our bed Chorus: I'm lying down, I've been nodding out Since I don't know when The lights are on, you're standing up Screaming at a ghost again Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left This house of ours in days But I'm not here; I never am So I just can't stay Outro: My darling, I'm never coming back From where I'm going My darling, I'm never coming home My darling, I'm never coming back From where I'm going My darling, I'm never coming home Never coming home again
