The Long Way Home

(Verse 1)

Seems like I live in slow motion

Feels like I think after things happen

I don't know much about it

Looks like time just vanishes...

I'll give my life so I can finally feel

To see the heat turned to chilled

That my brain stops smoking when I think

Cause now days pass in a blink...

(Chorus)

And I’m just trying to catch the light

Before it slips behind the skyline of the night

Everything is moving fast, but I’m standing still

Climbing up a mountain that’s masquerading as a hill

Yeah, the world is loud, but I’m out of zone

Just taking the long way home.

(Verse 2)

Did I change for the best?

I can't tell yet, can't say yes

Exchange nightmares for stress

I may need someone to bless.. me

How can I pretend nothing's wrong?

I took the long way home

Too many miles, can't feel my bones

I need a rest so I can stay strong.

(Bridge)

(Music swells slightly, becoming more rhythmic)

Is the clock broken, or is it just me?

Locked in a frame that I can’t even see

I’m trading my fire for a little bit of peace

Waiting for the ticking of the seconds to cease

I’m not lost... I’m just timed out.

I’m not gone... I’m just finding out.

(Solo / Instrumental Break)

(Chorus)

And I’m just trying to catch the light

Before it slips behind the skyline of the night

Everything is moving fast, but I’m standing still

Climbing up a mountain that’s masquerading as a hill

Yeah, the world is loud, but I’m out of zone

Just taking the long way home.

(Outro)

Too many miles...

Can't feel my bones...

(Slow motion...)

(In a blink...)

I’m just taking the long way home.
