Movements – Vacant Home lyrics

This home has never felt so unfamiliar
Now that you've gone away
These ghosts echo in the empty space
All alone, what was once a greater picture
Is now a vacant frame just left to wither and wane
Feeling strained, crawling on my knees against this endless grain
And dragging feet at the expense of progress in any way

And it's funny how the tables have turned and the advice that you gave me is now mine to give to you
A mother's love in four simple words, forever keeping me, can now keep you too
And even after your departure, I swear I can hear you say, "Be good, be safe."

This vulnerability has left me struggling
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore

Maybe they call it starting a new chapter, but I can never seem to finish the last one in time
Now the book keeps moving forward and I am always stuck one page behind
But these words that you always told me still resonate inside this space
I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to be safe

This vulnerability has left me struggling
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
This vulnerability has left me struggling
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Vulnerability, vulnerability, vulnerability
