I had a way then, losing it all on my own.
I had a heart then but the Queen has been overthrown.
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat.
And I'm not keeping up, the strength I need to push me.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone.
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-calling-calling home.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing.
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone.
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-calling-calling home.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone.
(Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights) Home-Home
(Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights)
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone.
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-calling-calling home.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.
You shine it when I'm alone.
Home-Home (Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights)
Home-Home (Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights)
