It's Time To Go Home

lyrics

Spent a thousand years asleep
Is this the way things were meant to be?
A predetermined path laid out at your feet
How can you know who you are
When you're made up of make up and the time that it takes
To piece yourself together just to feel out of place?
'Cause a person who's okay
Is a hard role to play
When you're all out of words and you don't know what to say

But if you're tired
Then maybe it's time to go home
Rest your weary head, old friend
Learn how to let go
If following the crowd only makes you feel low
Then maybe it's time to go home

So you can sit by yourself
With this dream of a good life
That you put on the shelf
And the mirror reflects nothing but a shell
Of the person you've become
Just to feel loved
And you don't even know if you believe in God
But you pray just to feel heard by someone
Wading through the memories long lost
Just playing along

But if you're tired
Then maybe it's time to go home
Rest your weary head, old friend
Learn how to let go
If following the crowd only makes you feel low
Then maybe it's time to go home
Where it's safe, and nobody knows
That you're falling apart all alone
That you're drowning, and crowning a king
Out of your final hope

Keeping up appearances, a people-pleaser never rests
Every mistake I made was me trying my best
Extend an olive branch and make an attempt
To patch it all up or put it to bed
They always pick a side, it's never mine
'Cause who would ever choose to be behind
Someone who fakes it until they make it
And keeps on lying until they break it

But if you're tired
Then maybe it's time to go home
Rest your weary head, old friend
Learn how to let go
If following the crowd only makes you feel low
Then maybe it's time to go home
Where it's safe, and nobody knows
That you're falling apart all alone
That you're drowning, and crowning a king
Out of your final hope

But are you safe, if nobody knows (nobody knows)
That you're tired of being alone
That you're drowning, surrounded in fear (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, it's time to, it's time to go-
