The house is burning quietly behind me now Every room I built is ash upon the ground I turn to look but there is nothing left to see Only footprints leading somewhere I can’t be The road I knew has turned to dust and wind Every habit every promise growing thin I reach for what I used to call my home But every path I take just leads me on alone The fire taught me what I never chose to learn That safety was a cage and now the cage has burned No road home the fire took it all No road home the old me cannot call I am walking where the silence falls No road home no road home at all The mornings used to feel like safety in my hands Now every sunrise cuts like glass across the land I cannot go back even if I tried The eyes I have now see what once I tried to hide The laughter that I knew has turned to stone The places that I loved I no longer own I am too awake to ever close my eyes And still the old life burns and still I walk and still I cry The self I cannot name is all that’s left to claim A stranger in the mirror wearing my own name No road home the fire took it all No road home the old me cannot call I am walking where the silence falls No road home no road home at all And I am free and I am small
