Lyrics

Living at different places
Evading into various spaces
My compass has broken, I’m losing the way
An ongoing madness has led me astray

My past breathes down my neck
And it seems now that all I can do is
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead
A fading illusion now plagues me instead

In me there’s still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to when winter descends
If I try can I find solid ground

I follow elusive paths
Oh it seems they’ve been written in stone
And the door to a new life is closing so fast
Burning the bridges will not bring me back

In me there’s still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to when winter descends
If I try can I find solid ground

In me there’s still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to when winter descends
If I try can I find solid ground
I know that in me there still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home and run to when winter descends
If I try can I find solid ground
Or am I just wasting time ?

Trivia

“It’s a very personal song, it is specificly about my desire to have a place to go, a home. On one side, I find touring with the band absolutely fantastic, but sometimes I really wish I didn’t have to pack my suitcase anymore.” – Simone Simons
