lyrics

All my life I've been searching for a way to erase the lines I've drawn but my faith has been shattered and worn.
Everything seems meaningless, everyone feels so distant and not a single thing makes any sense, but I know I'm wide awake and nothing has ever felt so real until now.
I'm still so scared to death of what will happen next. I've never been as strong as I pretend I am.
It's just so hard when uncertainty is my only trait of consistency.
I'm faced with so much I don't understand, still finding my way to who I am.
Sometimes I feel that I'm still wrong and that there is nothing left for me, but I always remember that this is where I need to be.
I know who I am.
I know where I stand.
I know where I am.
I am home.
