The Way Home
Lying still, head awake
Eyes closed tight and thoughts ablaze
It's coursing like a river going through my mind
Just taking Hits from the hands of time
Silence can be so odd
It's like looking around for the eyes of God
There's a truth somewhere that I just can't find
Taking hits from the hands of time
And I wonder if you were here right now
Would you sit with me beneath this darkened shroud
In this prison built of bricks of shame
I want to tear it down in to the frame
If you smash your life up against the wall
You want to break it like a bottle and just let go
But I don't know if there's a God at all
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
And the hours go by endlessly
And the days are spent breathlessly
And the night's begging
For some sleep or the endless time alone
In their faces the boys in line
There was fear in their eyes
And they all, we just want to find
A way home, home
Home, home
I can hear the birds, see the light outside
Stand up like a man and swallow my pride
I can write these words down in a rhyme
They've been beaten from me by the hands of time
And I don't know why it's always this way
And I hang my head low in the light of day
All I know is I'm tired of being afraid
I got to walk this road on these bricks I've laid
Ah, the trumpets and the marching bands
And the thunder claps at the trembling hands
All the people stood up in the stands
And I just felt so alone
'Cause the halos looked like rusted chains in the light
As we screamed in the dark
I just wanted to find a way
Home, home
Home, home
The truth is I'm not brave or sure
I just know I can't live like this no more
I don't know what I've been waiting for
I just know I can't live like this no more
The truth is I'm not brave or sure
I just know I can't live like this no more
I don't know what I've been waiting for
I just know I can't live like this no more
And I don't know if this road will end at your door
I just know I can't live like this no more
I don't even know what I'm heading for
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
Eyes closed tight and thoughts ablaze
It's coursing like a river going through my mind
Just taking Hits from the hands of time
Silence can be so odd
It's like looking around for the eyes of God
There's a truth somewhere that I just can't find
Taking hits from the hands of time
And I wonder if you were here right now
Would you sit with me beneath this darkened shroud
In this prison built of bricks of shame
I want to tear it down in to the frame
If you smash your life up against the wall
You want to break it like a bottle and just let go
But I don't know if there's a God at all
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
And the hours go by endlessly
And the days are spent breathlessly
And the night's begging
For some sleep or the endless time alone
In their faces the boys in line
There was fear in their eyes
And they all, we just want to find

I don't know what I've been waiting for

And I don't know if this road will end at your door
I just know I can't live like this no more
I don't even know what I'm heading for
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
I just know I can't live like this no more
