Welcome Home
Great joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look
I'm rehearsing for a play
In a storage unit, see
Hoping that the words I say
Turn chaos to community
One believer tryna way
My own responsability
Optimism in decay
You disagree, I disagree

Money made - money spent
So bored my head explodes
Extended moment lent
And not a second I am owed
It's never ending 'till it ends
Not even the clever know
Love my dog and love my friends
Learn to fly and fight and crow and

Hey! Welcome Home, be at ease
Grow your hair down to your knees
Shave your dome if you please
It's your home so be at ease

I think i'm gonna skip a day
I'll take a trip and miss a train
I'll kiss the sky, fake i'm sick
Kick my way against the grain
Flip the script, trick my brain
Slip out through a secret door
Lightning quick - can't explain
Won't maintain it anymore

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
But I do it anyway
Climb over the barricade
My time has come to disobey
There's a lightness to my step
There's a twinkle in my eye
I do not regret the day
I let the grand delusion die

Hey! Welcome Home, be at ease
Grow your hair down to your knees
Shave your dome if you please
It's your home so be at ease





Who gives a fuck if they're pleased

I'm a Veteran, and I've lived that toyota commercial. My best friends mom was there at the airport to greet us, and didn't yet know her son was dead. This song is so special to me now.
