[Verse 1]
They point, I stand still
Same suit, same stare
Every shift feels marked
Like I don't belong there
Cold cups on the desk
Red pen on my name
I bite back the fire
I don't play their game
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the door clicks shut
The noise starts to fade
I set down the weight
I let it wash away
[Chorus]
Home, home, I breathe
Home, home, I'm free
Leave that war behind
Bring me back to peace
(Home, home, I breathe)
(Home, home, I'm free)
[Verse 2]
They split up the praise
Hand me the blame
I wear that glare
Like a badge with no name
But the porch light waits
And the sink runs warm
Your hands on my face
Stop the coming storm
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the door clicks shut
The noise starts to fade
I set down the weight
I let it wash away
[Chorus]
Home, home, I breathe
Home, home, I'm free
Leave that war behind
Bring me back to peace
(Home, home, I breathe)
(Home, home, I'm free)
[Bridge]
Let them keep their papers
Their sharp little wars
I found a softer kingdom
Behind my own front door
No badge, no target
Just your arms around me
I come undone
And finally, I can see
[Chorus]
Home, home, I breathe
Home, home, I'm free
Leave that war behind
Bring me back to peace
(Home, home, I breathe)
(Home, home, I'm free)
