I lost myself, and you shouldn't have to be the one to find me

All along the way I lost myself

I dropped bits of me like breadcrumbs

In hopes to find my way home someday

But home isn't quite what it used to be

It's not a building any more,

It's a burnt down ramshackled pile of ashes

And as I sit here in these ashes I think of you and I realize you were home all along,

But I burnt it down

I did everything all wrong

Warsan Shire was right all along

Maybe I should have taken the heed of the soothsayer

But I'm just like every player of this game before me

Always choosing wrong

I no longer wish to hit my bong to find home because now that I know where home is it's hopeless to keep searching.
