Misery Signals - One Day I'll Stay Home

I surrender whole to one,
night by night, day by day.
The blur of cities twisting us to severance,
your static voice over a thousand satellite hours
in Chrysalis, my darling,
until our time.
I'll flood my eyes in light,
the road underfoot is certain to become the road behind.
One day I'll stay home.

Confide in me, this is my promise.
This is and has to be
never fraction or ephemeral.
The gift of self, given completely,
the way I will be given to you. From everything I've chosen to stray,
but never with contempt.
For every mile a moment missed,
my absence not in vain.
This choice is passion, this path is tension.
I feel the pressure clenching me.
This is now and not forever,
until our time.
My ears will ring,
the road underfoot is certain to become the road behind.
One day I'll stay home,
night by night, day by day.

Confide in me, this is my promise.
This is and has to be
never fraction or ephemeral.
The gift of self, given completely,
the way I will be given to you.

Until our time my ears will ring,
until our time I'll flood my eyes.
