lyrics

I've been a mercenary yes
been a thief of tenderness
I've been out here so damn long

I had no words for what I was
I let them fill the gaps because
I was so sure that I was wrong

Now I'm
home but does it fit
home but am I it?
home but do I count at
all?

home, is it a bluff?
home, am I enough?
home, can I unbuild this
wall?

And they say “let the labels be;
just live your life yeah fancy free”
oh but my fancy's gone so fast

Baby I'm a taxonomist
I need the language in my fist
I need to pin it under glass

So I'm home, to lay a claim
home, to use the name
home if I've earned the right

home, or maybe not
home, with caveats
turning like a satellite

And so I talk to others and
they tell me this is the homeland:
circling around and 'round

the only time I have no doubt
when fuckers try to force us out
in battle I can claim this ground

so it's home for me and you
home if you want it too
home, open every door

home, and then it's clear
home, so gather here
home, that's what home is for
