No Road Home (Solastalgia)

Been here before, or have I?

Cannot recall

Been here before, but I can't see what I'm looking for

There's nothing left, only memories remain

And until the end, I'll search for my home

Progress haunts my dreams and I can't stop this enemy forever stalking me

And to the world I'd known I bid farewell

I am homesick while at home

I've got nowhere else to go

I reminisce of the last time that I stood on this sacred ground

Misplaced myself but I'm still here

Never thought that I would fear losing my homeland

I've lost my sacred ground

Desperate, clutching straws

Distant, at arms throw

Can't face the new world I've come to, rejecting what is before my eyes

Memories, lost and sold

Deface times of old

I reminisce of the past life

No compensation can compensate me for what I have lost

I have lost

Grave mound

Connections all fragmented to my own ground

This wound, created for your welfare, now left unbound

Tear it all down, no you can't buy this ground

Hold fast, face down, this can't be undone

This world goes to the highest bidder

We can only loose, while they desecrate

Victim of our lust, no-one we can trust

We're all longing for fortune, but somebody has got to pay

Nomad, don't belong

Aimlessly I run, never return to my past life

A vagabond born by solastalgia

I am lost, I am lost

Have I been here before?

And I'll be here nevermore
