Back Again Lyrics

Why leaving on this day
A good reason to run away
Starting a crusade on a fraud
On behalf of a paltry cause

Pretending to be the right one
Eager to win the bet
Confident to become
Who we cannot be yet

Drifting away from our home
Tossed back and forth among the woes
Shifting our way to escape
Feeling alien to a chosen fate

Answering riddles in the dark
A dangerous lair to scout
Diving deep for a tiny spark
To find a path through our greatest doubts

Waking on a stranger shore
Exhausted by years of war
Caught unprepared by the swirl
Of the torments of the return

Good fellows to leave behind
Wrong beliefs to cast aside
Thwarting headwinds and evil traps
Left absolutely alone and finally back

Nothing else than a sum
Of appetite and distaste
Kneaded with emotions
But a freewill to embrace

An ethics still to craft
Slumbering or awake
Ever-improving draft
Or degenerated fake

Homecoming at last
Finally found a way
No longer an outcast
Changed and yet the same

There and back again
A narrowing swirl
From the unknown to oneself
An eternal return
