Lyrics

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 now

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 (Home)

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 (Home)

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, home

Lights, lights, lights, lights

Lights, lights, lights, lights

Home, home

Lights, lights, lights, lights

Lights, lights, lights, lights
