lyrics

Tripping over the pile of laundry, I reach the door,
Looking back with revulsion like never before.
We've accrued so much baggage I don't recognize my own
Home!
Home!

Do you?

Vacant dollhouses lining the hall to the living room;
All these icons, you'd reckon we live in a tomb.
Even now with an ardor wholehearted I'm feeling so
Alone!
Alone!

[It's all a little
Too familiar, familiar...
Too familiar, familiar...

(Too)
And I can't go
(Too)
And I plateau
(Too)
And I kowtow
To the fear

Fear...]

Whip-poor-will sitting sentinel out on the windowsill,
Why is it you just perch there so perfectly still?
Keep the west to your right, leave the nest - take flight! Please just go!
Go!
Go!

[Chorus]
