lyrics

I wore a mask
Cause fear was always better
Covered than confronted
I grew a mask
To cover
The face I never wanted
I grew a mask

I never told anyone about the demons
That nested in my head
Like an old sycamore tree
Hollowed out by the tips of their beaks

Wanderer
When will you come home to me?
Wanderer
When will you come to me?

I am the son of an immigrant's daughter
I am the sun
(The man on the moon)

You can lock the devils away
You can let them consume
You can let your demons prevail
You can refuse them

Wanderer
When will you come home to me?
(When will you come home to me?)
Wanderer
When will you come to me?
(When will you come to me?)
