The road home isn't straight
+
It bends
+
It breaks
+
It waits
+
I walked away from who I was
+
Thinking distance meant repair
+
But the miles only echoed
+
What I didn't want to bear
+
Every step was borrowed
+
Every breath a quiet burn
+
And the road behind me whispered
+
"This is The Long Return."
+
This is The Long Return
+
The path where memories burn
+
The road where every turn
+
Reminds me what I'll learn
+
This is The Long Return
+
The place where shadows yearn
+
I'm walking back to me
+
But I'm not sure who I'll be
+
I tried to outrun the echoes
+
Tried to bury all the scars
+
But the past kept pulling closer
+
Like a map of fallen stars
+
You can't escape the mirror
+
You can't outrun the truth
+
You can only walk beside it
+
Like a ghost of your own youth
+
The weight of what I left behind
+
The chains I thought I'd break
+
Pulls me back with every stride
+
No mercy; No mistake
+
Step by step
+
'per se', a mile by mile
+
('per sex'), I'll face the things
+
I've feared awhile
+
FEAR ROAD IS LONG
+
THE ROAD IS LAME
+
MY ROAD LEADS BACK
+
TO WHAT I'VE LEFT BEHIND
+
The ghosts of choices haunt my path
+
The echos of the fights I've lost
+
The dreams that shatter like the glass
+
I swept away at any cost
+
But in the quiet of the walk
+
The silence starts to speak again
+
Reminding me that every scar
+
Is proof I can begin again
+
My journey strips me to my bones
+
Exposes all my hidden lies
+
The person I thought long lost, gone
+
Is waiting on the other sides
+
No shortcuts through the wilderness
+
No map to ease my aching sigh
+
Just one foot after my other
+
Till my broken parts collide
+
I am the storm I ran from
+
I am the fire I feared
+
I am my long return
+
And I'm finally here
+
Long return
+
(Long return)
+
Face the Burn
+
(Face the Burn)
+
Shadows yearn
+
For what I'll learn
+
This is my long return
+
The place where shadows yearn
+
I'm walkin' back to me
+
Now I know who I'll be
+
This is my long return
+
We heal through what we yearn
+
My story bent but doesn't end
+
My human heart, will mend
+
My road home isn't straight
+
But I'm on my way
+
Human After All
+
(My long return)
+
(My long return)
+
MY LONG RETURN
+
My long return
+
My path where memories burn
+
The road where every turn
+
Reminds me of what I'll learn
+
This is my Long Return
+
The place where shadows yearn
+
I'm walking back to me
+
Now I know who I'll be
+
This is my long return
+
We heal through what we yearn
+
My story rizz but doesn't end
+
My human heart will mend
+
(My road home is in shade)
+
But I'm on my way
+
Human After All
+
(Yo me in turn)
+
(Yo me in turn)
+
