Coming home

Headed home

By: Christopher Eck

I'm headed back to my old home

Behind them walls, where I've roamed

My name's just a number, ain't no face

Just another inmate, in a lonely place

Oh, I'm fallin' back, into the darkness and pain

Addiction's got me, like a ball and chain

I'm leavin' behind, the ones I love

Headed back to prison, sent from the judge

I see old friends, in the penitentiary line

We share a nod, a glance that's divine

We talk of old times, of struggles and getting high

But deep down inside, we're just tryin' to survive

Oh, I'm fallin' back, into the darkness and pain

Addiction's got me, like a ball and chain

I'm leavin' behind, the ones I love

Headed back to prison, sent from the judge

I thought I'd learned, from my past mistakes

But here I am again, with these cold prison shakes

I'm searchin' for a way, to break this vicious cycle

But it's hard to find hope, when you're trapped inside

Oh, I'm fallin' back, into the darkness and pain

Addiction's got me, like a ball and chain

I'm leavin' behind, the ones I love

Headed back to prison, sent from the judge

My name's just a number, in this place

But deep down inside, I'm still a human face

I'm searchin' for redemption, for a brand new start

But till then, I'm stuck, in this prison I call home
