Lyrics

I used to be immortal when in the elbow you lent me

I used to feel invincible when you supported me in difficult times

But now the joints of this machine that you built

Now the components of this system you created are deteriorating beyond repair

Have rusted far beyond mending

They have corroded extensively and cannot be fixed


I called myself a soldier, bought myself a gun

I identified as a soldier and armed myself, seeking an ideal revolution

I was shopping for the perfect revolution

I was actively searching for a perfect cause to fight for

But now my gun is out of bullets, my army over run

Now my ammunition is depleted, and my forces have been overwhelmed


And I want to go home

I desire to return home


I remember being hungry, and I remember the anger

I recall experiencing hunger and anger

I remember waking up every day and having something to fight for

I remember waking up with a sense of purpose and something to strive for

Now I've found a decent living with nothing left to need

Now I have a stable life but lack any meaningful aspirations

I do the daily motion, my member asleep

I go through the routine without passion, feeling emotionally numb

And I stay awake throughout the night trying not to scream

I stay awake at night, suppressing the urge to express my frustrations


I wanna go home

I yearn to return to my home


Now the night is almost over, and I dunno if I'll get through

The night is ending, and I'm uncertain if I'll overcome my challenges

My sun it never shone from the sky, it always shone from you

My source of light was never the sky but always you

Now I've plenty time ahead, I'm only twenty-five

Although I'm just twenty-five, I feel like I have ample time ahead

But just because I'm breathin don't mean I'm alive

Being alive is not just about breathing; there's more to life than mere existence

Mama, can you hear me howling

A plea to the speaker's mother, asking if she can hear the emotional distress


I wanna go home

I have a strong desire to go back to my home
