tw for guns mentioned throughout the song, implied drinking and violence.
--
a bit of this song is actually from a voice memo when i left home, others are lines from when i was homeless for a bit, and uh. the rest i've kind of been expanding on for a while.

the demo is technically done, but i'm considering something before i share/post it, and i might just redo it completely later.

I have never had a home
For home is where the heart is
But everywhere I go is simply
Cold and empty-hearted

those who claim to know me well
will call me sick and soulless
but those who claim acquaintance
say that i am just afraid

afraid of what is lurking
and afraid of what I am
afraid of what we left behind
afraid of what I kept

something in my mind screams
this place is haunted, you must leave
but all that is so dear to me
is trapped inside this city

run away, orion, run
the games they play like loaded guns
abandon what is left of you
find a place to start anew
your things are packed
no place to stay
run, orion, run away

i have never had a home
for home implies a someone
but i still fear a wanderer
who says i will become one

those who claim to know me well
will treat me like a stranger
but strangers know a boy like me
is searching for a place

maybe with the barstools
and maybe with the misfits
maybe with the butterflies
maybe with the hermits

something in my mind screams
this place is danger, you must leave
as all that is a threat to me
resides within this city

run away, orion run
the games they play like loaded guns
abandon what is left of you
find a place to start anew
your things are packed
no place to stay
run, orion, run away
