Most Roads Lead To Home

(album: Wooden Heart - 2010)

I can't remember…….making all these visions in my head but they're moving in this room……..fighting together above my bed shadows swirling hand in hand……..making new faces in the wind keep trying to help me forget my name, and I keep trying to leave them our ghosts fill up these hollow walls, empty hands filled with silence we are still alive from what I've seen, heads hanging in the balance I'll keep on in this sleep……I'm never gonna find that perfect cure I'll hold on to my name, because it's the only thing I still know for sure look at the sound of all these people on fire. I want to be on fire, do you want to be on fire? but we don't love ourselves enough, we pack our hearts with medicine choke our lungs with broke down tries of lesser men I'd rather give you my name instead of just forget it because I carry it, but I don't want to carry it and so I'll follow you vision and listen with my eyes every maze and twist and bend try to go where you point, step where you recommend oh lead what I should see great specter you say: give up, give up, don't give up then I won't give up, because I know I'm not alone I know that all roads lead to home in some way and I'm on my way, are you on your way?

Show me your life, living, speaking in the night above us we all survived, in this one place forever with our eyes closed you are alive, you said it would never be this way, you promised I am alive, and I said I would never go away, to believe me but I'm awake now, and I still see you…do you see me. I am alive…………though I might be dead or sleeping I have survived………trying to find my way out of leaving and I'm having trouble leaving……..I keep breaking all these oars I can't mold what's not mine…….that ship won't sail anymore the journey is the thing…………….and I'm barely following like this mirage from inside the back of my head, from just outside my reach you are survived, you are not alone, don't give up

'Cause one day I'm gonna write my dad into my dreams and tell him how his friends still remember him here show him I became a man, because they all cared in his absence and I know you held us, your wife held on tight enough for both of you she still holds your hand every day…….. and try to live out your last words………… you are survived, even though we're still here sorting it all out we all survived, and are amongst the living and the dead this name is no longer mine, I can see who I am without it but I can't just go around dreaming about luck like that but we all still bleed, we still need help to breathe and that's all mine to carry, help me remember when I wake up I know that all roads lead to home in some way and I'm on my way, are you on your way?

Show me your life, walking, drifting in the air around us we all survived, forever and always as we sleep you are alive, you said it would never be this way, you promised I am alive, and I said I would never go away, to believe me but I'm awake now and I still see you…do you see me?
