lyrics

a little boy
kind of like a little man
except that he still knows that he can
slay the knight to win the fight
and set the sky alight
before he's done

but a boy meets his own countrymen
from whom he learns
how he is lesser than the best
he must be ruthless
sign a long list
and then queue up for a test

when this started
a long long time ago
there wasn't much of a plan
but now that I've spent that time
inching
inching away
we're on different land
wondering

where is my home now?
where's my place?
where is my home now?
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see it in my face

I started thinking about the dark
where it ends
and whre it starts
how it creeps in from the corners
and gently runs our vision apart

and then I thought about the heart
and how we never quite kill that spark
though it's beaten
it still beats
though it's cold and old
it seeks still it's place
still it's part

when this started
a long long time ago
there wasn't much of a plan
but now that I've spent that time
inching
inching away
we're on different land
wondering

where is my home now?
where's my place?
where is my home now?
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see it in my face

why do I run still
when I'm already so far away?
why do I worry in the night
if I'm so skeptical of day?
did you ever feel like when you fell
you got back up somewhere else?
like gravity was pulling you on
as if something was steering us
home

when this started
a long long time ago
there wasn't much of a plan
but now that I've spent that time
inching
inching away
we're on different land
wondering

where is my home now?
where's my place?
where is my home now?
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see I'm lost
you can see it in my face
