Home Is a Lie

I learned the rhythm of your ways
(Home is a lie)
Collecting bits of you in our days
(Home is a lie)
This pulse pounding like an action scene
(Home is a lie)
My heart, you know it careens at the prospect of believing

Shipwrecked by another siren
Castaway now on an island
Is there a chance that you'll catch me smiling?
As I'm fading beneath the waves
Architect or avoid a hassle
Locked away now in a castle
Home is always our favorite lie
We tell ourselves just to stay alive

I can hear you deep in my chest
(Home is a lie)
My voice rang out, you know I did my best
(Home is a lie)
These lids gave way like a breaking dam
(Home is a lie)
My eyes, you know they swam at the vision of your leaving

Shipwrecked by another siren
Castaway now on an island
Is there a chance that you'll catch me smiling?
As I'm fading beneath the waves
Architect or avoid a hassle
Locked away now in a castle
Home is always our favorite lie
We tell ourselves just to stay alive

Was it the places we lived or the stories we made?
Was it family we lost or the friends that just fade?
Was it the times of adventure our hearts beating fast?
Was it a feeling once had on a rainy day past?
Was it the smell of your neck or the sound of your voice?
Was it the way that you held me or gave me a choice?
Was it the memory of, or when I drank to forget?
Yeah home is a lie and now I'm asking again why I'm

Shipwrecked by another siren
Castaway now on an island
Is there a chance that you'll catch me smiling?
As I'm fading beneath the waves
Architect or avoid a hassle
Locked away now in a castle
Home is always our favorite lie
We tell ourselves just to stay alive

Shipwrecked by another siren
Castaway now on an island
Is there a chance that you'll catch me smiling?
As I'm fading beneath the waves
Architect or avoid a hassle
Locked away now in a castle
Home is always our favorite lie
We tell ourselves just to stay alive
