"Almost Home"

There was a lot of motion
Without really moving anywhere
Going through the motions
And all the time unaware
There were a lot of feelings
Misplaced in the empty air
A false sense of comradery
Come to find no one really cared

Cause I am not an army of one
I can't do this on my own
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home

[chorus]
If this is what you wanted
I'll never know
But no one breaks the silence
So I guess I'll go
I gave you all I had
And I've got nothing to show
Just wish I didn't put so much into
An almost home

Walked out on my birthday
Said goodbyes to everyone
Head of complex emotions
As I stepped out into the sun
Bright and clear, like I'd never seen
Such a beautiful sight before
A breath, and everything ahead of me
Don't have to feel that anymore

Cause I am not an army of one
Why do I feel all alone
Didn't know I was so hard to love
So I'll go home, yeah I'll go home

[chorus]
If this is what you wanted
I'll never know
But no one breaks the silence
So I guess I'll go
I gave you all I had
And I've got nothing to show
Just wish I didn't put so much into
An almost home

The days went on, I heard the words that spread
Talking 'bout me like I was dead
All the words I never heard,
I hear these ones instead
The way they sing inside my head

What I thought was thick-skinned
I see were coats so heavy
Beneath the wool, I couldn't pierce
There were fangs there at the ready
Brothers and sisters turned to strangers
But there's no reward in anger
So I'll sit and wait and hope, and watch and groan
And keep thinking
That I'm almost home
Yeah, I'm almost home

[instumental]

Yeah, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
