Homesick

[00:03.94] Instead of "welcome home," you looked at me and asked,
[00:07.69] "How is this gonna end?" When the wind beats against our hollow bones,
[00:09.48] we're only forced to run for shelter again.

[00:23.03] Welcome to the year of more fear let's not pretend.
[00:26.67] And then you wonder why we slow down under the weight of what this
[00:31.26] world demands.

[00:35.71] I'm afraid of what's in my head, hoping I'll choose hope instead.
[00:40.34] All this caution makes us reckless and there are egos that need to be fed.
[00:43.92] We're still ugly and we're still free,
[00:48.47] still preoccupied with World War III.

[01:03.85] There is beauty in defeat when we get back on our feet.
