Coming Home

from A Story All About How by The Scribes

lyrics

Once in saddle constant travel
Conscience battled nonsense babbled
Church converted words like scrabble
Nonsense for the merging cattle herd with a fear of change
Heard something strange shoot me down now I'm on the range
Home again and it looks like nothings changed
Still the same old hatchet with fresh remains
Welcome back I look up at the ceiling damp
It's just to view where my ego sat
It's not pride I lack it's just a certain push
I've been off the edge I survive without tender hooks
But a chorus of broken looks and empty stares
Are not enough to make me care
There's a world outside and he's dying to fight
I'm surprised that I made it back alive I'm

Gone
I remember the day when we won
I've never felt so alone
And nothing's changed but I'm coming home again
Coming home again

Today's the dawn
Of the whole world waging war
And the walk home that makes us crawl
As the nations fall
And find fights as occasion calls
Til the price of our freedoms are paid in full
Ignore all the fatal flaws
And the vacant eyes
Of virtue sent away to die
As the boss men feign surprise
And preach free speech from a cage of lies
Victory's ours
And it's great just how rich we are
But no gold's going to fix these scars
So I'm heading home
But it's not the same
Thought I'm told we won
I still feel somewhat lost again
We all bear the cross of blame with no sorrow
A win at a cost this great is so hollow
So swallow our pride as our followers die
With anonymous heroes that none of us like

Gone
I remember the day when we won
I've never felt so alone
And nothing's changed but I'm coming home again
Coming home again soon

Please believe me I didn't mean to leave you on your own
Please believe me I didn't mean to leave you on your own
Please believe me I didn't mean to leave you on your own
Please believe me I didn't mean to leave you on your own
