Homelands

Returning to my home
Estranged among my own
The film behind my eyes
Has made me all that I despise

I’ve seen the world apart
(Unclosing eyes betray)
A shield destroyed a heart
(Belief becomes decay)
Lost, and on my own

The void left inside
As the last shots have died
Haunted by my deeds
(Unclosing eyes betray)
The flag left unfurled
(Belief becomes decay)
Lost in this world
All that’s left to believe

I am not who I seem
It’s someone else’s dream
Please tell me it’s not real
My smile betrays all I don’t feel

(I’ve seen the world apart)
The void left inside
(A shield destroyed a heart)
As the last shots have died
(Lost, and on my own)
Haunted by my deeds
(Unclosing eyes betray)
The flag left unfurled
(Belief becomes decay)
Lost in this world
Nothing left to believe
