Most Roads Lead To Home

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
