Return

Never knew these days would end

Never knew that times would bend

To the wishes in someone else

To the forces outside myself

I know this empty chair

I see this faded room

But nothing is the same

And I feel empty

You ask me to return

Return to these shores

Return to these halls

Through open doors

I want to run

I want to climb

Don't want these forms

That we've designed

Don't want the temple

Oh, don't want its wealth

I want to return

Return to myself

Never trusted anything

Never knew that words could bring

Down the high walls of what you felt

Crush the forces inside myself

I fear this empty room

I know this common place

But I am not the one

I'm vacant inside

You ask me to return

Relive what is lost

Pull up all my roots

From the icy frost

I want to play

In the destroyed

Don't want these roles

That we've employed

Don't want the city

Don't want the town

I want to be reborn

And turn myself around

Never knew that times would bend

Never knew these nights could end

End the sirens of distant bells

Through these forces outside myself

I see the hidden games

I know this fallen space

But nothing is the same

And I feel empty

You ask me to return

Return to before

Return to these halls

Through open doors
