Peaceful Home

from Peaceful Home by Patrick Dunn

lyrics

New York, please don't take my sanity
I feel it slipping away
As I'm riding on your subways
Fighting for it every day
Ever since I left Los Angeles
Since I left my sunset bed
I've gotten better at writing my stories
And losing my head

I need a peaceful home
A peaceful home
Unite me with my soul in a peaceful home

I know a city cannot change a man
Cannot change his mental health
But if I don't blame this on a sense of place
I'd have to blame it on myself
And I have been there before
It does me no good
So I'll make a case for loneliness
Like any desperate man would

Who needs a peaceful home
A peaceful home
Unite me with my soul in a peaceful home

These city lights
Hide nervous nights
For anyone counting them alone

In time, I know
My condition will show
If I don't find a peaceful home

A peaceful home
A peaceful home
Unite me with my soul in a peaceful home

If I climb across your bridges
And live for you and no one else
Would you give me my transgressions
Or would you keep them for yourself?
Because I need a little easiness
I need a little help
I need some kind of holy land
To believe in myself

I need a peaceful home
A peaceful home
A peaceful home
A peaceful home
I need a peaceful home
A peaceful home
Unite me with my soul in a peaceful home
