After last week's song submission I had thought of maybe doing a soft, pretty acoustic number. However, the prompt 'Unlikely Haven' instantly sent my mind to a place of solitude where I realized my true, unlikely haven is the one where I retreat into myself, which in turn led to the visual of being so gutted by the traumas in life as to where you feel like there's nothing left inside, which consequently (and conveniently for this metaphor), opens up some real estate to retreat into one's own hollowed out shell.
That's some heavy shit! I had no intention on going this bleak with it, but here we are. An unlikely host. An unsuspecting ghost, visible under a full moon.
Defenses deployed!
Find comfort in the void
Vacant corner in a crowded room
My solace is an empty tomb
My body is an empty tomb
Sometimes yours to use
Don’t worry I got room
You can put it to the test
If not impossible
Unlikely at best
I was emptied long ago
The raiders came and went
But it wasn’t all a curse
When they left me for the worse
An unlikely host
An unsuspecting ghost
Can be seen under a full moon
My solace is an empty tomb
My body is an empty tomb
Empty Tomb
