Far From Home

Thrash metal/ Alt metal/ Post metal

Verse 1
Sleeping with one eye open,
Hearing the sounds I can't understand,
Being afraid of being forgotten
As nothing here remains the same.

I remember our conversation
That I had with you some time ago.
Your shyness and your hesitation
The pause after I sent "Hello".

I know, that you remember
The way you laughed at something small.
My room gets dark and it gets colder
When I realize I'm here alone.

Pre-Chorus
Whatever comes, I won't surrender.
Whatever comes, I'd stay alive.
I always know and will remember
That somewhere you are mine.

Chorus
I'm far from home,
But I can still hear you
In the darkness after everything goes wrong.

I don't fight for glory.
I don't fight to be strong.
I fight because I know
There's someone waiting
Who still believes that I belong.

Verse 2
There are days when fear gets stronger,
It whispers doubts into my ear,
And every second seems much longer,
And I feel broken being here.

I've seen good men becoming sinners,
And names reduced to something on a page.
I've learned that evil could be cleaner
Than any pure human rage.

The moment I feel myself becoming
Someone I wouldn't recognize,
I remember how you're smiling
Without asking to justify my life.

You never said that I was fearless.
You know exactly what I am.
And that might be the only reason
To carry on when I almost can't.

Pre-Chorus
Whatever comes, I won't surrender.
Whatever comes, I'd stay alive.
I always know and will remember
That somewhere you are mine.

Chorus
I'm far from home,
But I can still hear you
In the darkness after everything goes wrong.

I don't fight for glory.
I don't fight to be strong.
I fight because I know
There's someone waiting
Who still believes that I belong.

Verse 3
When I return, don't ask what happened.
Some answers shouldn't leave the dark.
Just sit beside me for a while
And let me find where I can start.

And if I don't,
Don't turn me into a story.
Don't make me better than I was.
Remember that I loved you boldly.
How stubborn, scared and proud I was.

Remember that beneath the armor
I was the man with fear of the loss.

And somewhere far beyond this place,
Where all these voices disappear,
I'll keep the smallest thought of you
Closer than anything I fear.

Tonight,
When everything is closing in,
I'll say your name without a sound.
Not because it makes me stronger.
Because it reminds me
Who I am.

Final Chorus
I'm far from home,
But I can still hear you
In the darkness after everything goes wrong.

I don't fight for glory.
I don't fight to be strong.
I fight because I know
There's someone waiting
Who still believes that I belong.

And if tomorrow finds me standing,
I'll carry nothing but the truth:

I was never fighting only
To survive.

I was fighting
To come back to you
