New Home (Christopher Remix) (Remastered)

(Verse 1 – soft, almost whispered, like lulling someone to false sleep) [Verse 1] Without hope Without greed Without fear and pain A new world beckons in the dark of my brain Hope was always Getting me cut and bruised Every wish I whispered Came back misused Lies always stirred the pot Now I'm standing in the steam I cook my feelings in a chipped black pot Let them simmer till they can't scream [Chorus] I wanna go to a new home Where I can sleep like I'm not on trial Where peace ain't something I borrow For a minute Then lose to denial I wanna live till my lungs feel full Not just drag through another year gone dull I wanna go to a new home A new home in my skull [Verse 2] Hold on to the dream They say keep the candle lit But every time I strike the match The wax just drips on the same old script Maybe one day I'll find someone Who doesn't cost a year to fall Who doesn't pull the days like teeth One by one from my jaw But I'll never know if I stay right here So I'm packing what I can't replace A Polaroid Three broken plans And the last of my misplaced grace [Chorus] I wanna go to a new home Where I can sleep like I'm not on trial Where peace ain't something I borrow For a minute Then lose to denial I wanna live till my lungs feel full Not just drag through another year gone dull I wanna go to a new home A new home in my skull [Bridge] If I leave this version of me On the side of the road tonight Will the hurt still know my name When I step into the light? [Chorus] I wanna go to a new home Where I can sleep like I'm not on trial Where peace sits quiet beside me Like a long-lost Soft-eyed child I wanna live till my lungs feel full Even if the world stays rough and cruel I’m gonna build my new home My new home in the ruins of the old
