Dovetail Joint - This Is My Home lyrics

I spent some time to examine the stages But I couldn't stand the thought of it Anything other than the first couple pages I just couldn't dig it Someone once told me when looking for answers "Don't look in corners, just in the spaces Keep it simple, keep up hope" Sixteen was hopeful Not enough time here to be bidding it goodbye This is my home The light from behind me is spotted and shapeless And that fits me fine What's dark in their faces looks dark for the future Well, I can't find my footing if I can't see down The further along, the closer you are To finding if the dreams are real And when they aren't, what do you do then? I'm not tired of it, so I think I'll stay This is my home My worry grows My will, it moans My spirits aged My youth replaced by longing My pulse, it slows My heart is stone My drive is curbed Not another word about being grateful
