Been Away Too Long - Soundgarden

You can’t go home

No I swear you never can

You can walk a million miles

And get nowhere

I got nowhere to go

Ever since I came back

Just filling in the lines

From the holes to the cracks

And no one knows me

No one saves me

No one loves or hates me

I’ve been away for too long

This place has a special

Kind of falling apart

Like they put the whole thing

Together in the dark

And no one knows

Where the edge of the knife is

And no one knows

What intelligent life is

And no one knows me

No one saves me

No one loves or hates me

But it’s fate

I only ever really wanted a break

I’ve been away for too long

Though I never really wanted to stay

I’ve been away for too long

Kilos through key-holes

Widows through windows

Pilots through eyelets

Everyone is silent

Tankards and flagons

And snifters and flutes

On my way home

But it’s fate

I only ever really wanted a break

I’ve been away for too long

Though I never really wanted to stay

I’ve been away

But it’s fate

I only ever really wanted a break

I’ve been away for too long

Though I never really wanted to stay

I’ve been away for too long
