lyrics

Been away for most of a year and / it's time to find a place to land / plant a flag on the highest mountain / untouched by human hands / it's written by the gods that this ground was always ours to claim / and if your god says different, you're in our way /

I think I need a minute to breathe / and laugh for the first time since / I was on the right path / all those years ago / I think I need a weekend to drink, and / cry about the good times / and burn all of the books / from the place I used to know / my home is dead, long live my home

So I learn to till the earth, and / count the days upon the wall / and the starless nights I wonder / why I left my home at all / and on nights like that, I read the scriptures that say it's meant to be / that this fertile ground was made for me

I think I need a minute to breathe / and laugh for the first time since / I was on the right path / all those years ago / I think I need a weekend to drink, and / cry about the good times / and burn all of the books / from the place I used to know / my home is dead, long live my home

Hang me high from an old oak tree / it's better than this misery / burn the land and boil the sea / but you can't take these chords from me

You better be waiting
