I've lost everything I had at least once
Some turn to diamonds while the others turn to rust
There is no one in the world that I can trust
Oh, home is just a state of mind
I've seen a lot of pretty things go by my door
I reached out my hands and grabbed them to be sure
Everything I've touched has left me wanted more
Oh, home is just a state of mind
I tried so hard to get this far away
I ran so long I couldn't think straight
I begged and prayed for things to change
The more things change, the more they stay the same
I've been so lonely in a room that's full of friends
Took some comfort in my solitude instead
Truth and love is all that matters in the end
Oh, home is just a state of mind
---
What's the difference between a loss and a forfeit
I tried to make it better but I made it more sick
I tried to make it right, now awake at night
I know reality was getting in the way
I used to think that I knew who I was
Never saw it coming unglued
I used to think that I knew who I was
Now it's time to see if it's true
I had so much certainty
Til that moment I lost control
And I've tried but it never was up to me
I've got no worse enemy
Than the fear of what's still unknown
And the time's come to realize there will be
Promises I can't keep
---
Happiness is somewhere I have been before
A blurry photograph that I have since ignored
I'll carefully adjust the aperture once more
Until I set the record straight
I'll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright
I'll be an editor, no, a curator of light
I'll let my better angels always set me right
Until I even out the score
Until I even out the score
God, it has been quite a year
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more
I know that I've asked it before
But please let the scale tip here in my favor
What was once the sweetest melody I've heard
Is now a memory reduced to little words
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture
Until I pinpoint every note
Give me the heart of an archaeologist,
That I may dig until I prove that I exist
A subterranean cathedral in my midst
Where echos come to rest
Where echos come to rest
Is this where echos come to rest?
---
When we're dead and gone
Will the mountains remember
Or just carry on
Moving as slow as the forest grows
And turn our bones into dust
An untold legend is lighting up
When will I reach that light that I'm running to?
When I die
Will it turn out forever?
There's a fire burning inside of me
When I die
Will I burn out forever?
You don't need to lie, I know it will
Because the darkness doesn't need the light
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold
And all the birds have been singing at night
Well, don't even try to save me, friend
'Cause I know it ain't worth the fight
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold
And all the birds have been singing at night

Doesn't even like cake
Lamenting on a birthday
Two bet in a parlay
Dreaming when her eyes aren't shut
Looking in the mirror
Smiling at her fear
Nothing really matters
These eyes have so much to see
She looked around
How did I get here?
Twenty years goes by so fast
How did I get here?
The home I know,
how do I get there?
Twenty years,
that's what it takes
I know I'll be there
Stumble through a hallway
Staying up for three days
Sitting in a walkway
and parking in driveways
Focus is a virtue
You know what you're allured to
Every day is progress
Every day feels just the same
She looked around
How did I get here?
Twenty years goes by so fast
How did I get here?
The home I know
How do I get there?
Twenty years,
that's what it takes
I know I'll be there
