Long Way Home

Up here in the stratosphere
But quickly descending
I quit pretending long ago
But you already know
It was all just for show

Dark soul black hole
Consumes all around me
Confuse and confounds me into the night
The loser of the fight
Who did everything right

You see me as an open book
A sacred possession
Well hear my confession shock and awe
From the wrong side of the law
I hope nobody saw

The transcript of the evidence gathered against me
From whence we hid my crimes
It was there between the lines
Writ in lies and dollar signs

I took the long way home
Its been a long time coming
Life is a twisted road
But I rounded the bend
On the home stretch hit the ground running
Yes I am running home

(I am running home)

Down low
Just a stone's throw
From launching the mission
Like nuclear fission blowing up in your face
I have mastered time and space
But I'm still losing the race

Up awake at the daybreak
Reliving my nightmares
The zombies were right there
Coming up through the floor
And the winner of the war
Is still locked behind this door

I took the long way home
Its been a long time coming
Life is a twisted road
But I rounded the bend
On the home stretch running
Yes I am running home

(I am running home)

And what's reflected in the mirror
Is history my destiny
Are blurred lines getting clearer
I want you to be proud of me
When all that's left is doubt
Did you find out
The universe is a hologram?
An entropy mystery
How do I become who I am?
How do I become me?

(I keep running...)

When will I be free?
When will I be?

I took the long way home
Its been a long time coming
Life is a twisted road
But I rounded the bend
On the home stretch running
Yes I am running home

(I am running home)

I am running...
