Homes Lyrics by Anthony Ruptak

Between the Hangman and the Halo

2015

Maybe someday I could've been
A doctor or a scientist
And make a lot of money for my children and my family
For to spend on getting lonely as I age
But I abide by biding time
And letting all my apprehension slowly rot
Make up eulogies for everything we want
So I will look down at my hands
Upon the wheel every now and then
Illuminated by repeating highway lights
And I'll remember who I am
And see in shining contrast where I stand
Between the hangman and the halo
For a while
So I sat alone beside my love
And waited for the ball to drop
As seven strangers called upon the ghosts of their regrets
And in a huff they tossed them up
And fire bit the frostbit fog
But yours, you dropped
You swore it was an omen
We'd forget, we'll forgive
So maybe someday I'll settle down
Give up pacing in the dark and locking doors
Say farewell, I ain't a child anymore
And we could build a little place
Upon a plot in Eden
And even if we never make it to the end of the parade
I'm sure we'll still be happy that we came
