Home Is the Heart

I am feigned in a lie
I have drained all of my
Hope, despair, dreams of sin
I’m too tired to give in
So I am going home

To a place better spent
On what I can present
To myself and my peace
To become my release
And finally go back home

To a world made of truth
Where I can find all the proof
Instead of looking inside
At the things that you hide
And I can go back home

To a place that needs no more hate
It always knows when it’s fate
To a place that lies deep within
Where I’m too tired to give in
Just let me find my way home

It seems that I’m thinking too much
Such as why such is such
So I’ll let it all go
Lay back and I’ll know
I’m already in my home
