lyrics

When all the days passed, that we spoke of
Our dreams lurked ahead, and we broke em
When there’s nothing new to say I guess the silence is important
All the while,
I ran my mouth

We painted our faces, as lions
And roared with the windows up
The spots around your eyes let me know that you’d been cryin’
All the while,
I bit my tongue

Is this our way back home?
Is this our way back home?
Will we run from the things that name us?
Or has this already tamed us?

This is the way, we all fell into
little white lies, about “transcendence” and “renewal”
Pain erodes
I can’t ever let it go

Is this our way back home?
Is this our way back home?
Will we run from the things that maim us?
Or has this already slain us?
Can we pull ourselves out for a minute?
And hold it together- till we win it?
Will we let our ambition strangle us alive?
Or fight for a new way, to survive?
