Eight years ago I committed a sin And there were many more that followed with Some that changed my mind Some that broke me down But all of them made me who I am now All of them made me who I am now All of them made me who I am now I lived in the bliss of ignorance And slowly sank into self-doubt I had to answer my own questions As I attempted to crawl out After these years on the road Was this really my home? Why do I feel so alone? In my chest there's a hole Why do I feel so alone? Why do I feel so alone? In my chest there's a hole I've tried to keep it full But there's a break in the hull Depression floods like frozen water's cold Is this life drowning me? I am a ship lost out at sea Eight years ago I admitted a dream To chase it I had to give up everything But the things I've learned and the things I've found All of them made me who I am now All of them made me who I am now After years on the road It was never my home (never my home) After years on the road It was never my home (never my home) My home is in the words you sing Every letter of the notes you bring Every story you tell of feeling alive When you hear these words And you change your life You change your mind, the way you think These words last forever on your skin in ink (Oooh, oooh) My home is in your heart [x6]
