I've looked back at all the paths I roamed
Goodbye, everyone I've ever loved
I'll dodge every tear and leave stories untold
No, I'm never coming back home.
My past lays underneath a colder storm
I'm staying outside no matter if push comes to shove
Pretend all I know is yet unborn
And I'm never coming back home.
Can't ever see the light
Won't come back home tonight
Feels like I'm losing the fight
But you can't make me come back home!
On my own with nowhere to go
But you'll never bring me ashore
I'm not scared, just scared alone
And you won't make me come back home!
My shadow haunts me more than the others
But what have I done and what have you done?
They question why I ever even bother
Am I really departing from home?
I'm losing control but I won't stop running
What have I done and what have you done?
Daunted by the task of forgetting all the suffering
How did I get so far from home?
Never even thought to seek the light
Sanctuary so far out of sight
Feels like I'm losing the fight
Where is the road back home?
Gone on my own and I forgot the road
Absolution was left back at home
I lay here, so scared and alone
Just where is the path back home?
Beacons of light; they deceive me
Promises of truth; they betray me
Seekers of heaven; they exclude me
Because I'd left too much at home
A cocoon of the truth and its blossom postponed
I said goodbye to everyone I'd ever known
I left you behind, so why can't you leave me alone
Can't you see that I'm never coming back home!?
Can't ever remember what I know is right
I see the way, but never the light
Regret leaves me wandering oh so blind
What did it mean to be back home?
Killed my dreams for a fruitless journey alone
Tuned the past out as if I'd never grown
How did I come this far on my own?
Should I come back for you and come back home?
Help yourself, help us all
You used to stand tall but now you don't know at all
Who will it be, you or we?
Don't you see it's home that you have to be?
Open your eyes, know the truth
We're more than broken so we're beckoning for you
We beg you, dear soul, don't you dare roam
Because you left so much behind when you had left home!
My eyes see clear now, and now I see
What it was that I'd made into me
Out of the darkness, away from the cold
I want to make things right, so I'm coming back home!
Everything falls apart when we leave home
Now I understand that I shouldn't be alone
I'm coming back for you because now I've thought it through
And now I'm setting things straight because I'm coming back home!
