Lyrics

It's like I've never been away
Once I cross the doorstep
And all the dusty items sitting on my shelves
look down at me reproachfully as I
silently unpack my suitcase
and put my stuff back into place
at home the tiger's just an ordinary cat
not a wild, but just a contour, just a patch.

And I hold my breath
And I dive back in
Hold my breath
And slowly give in

This is a static kingdom
An empire of constancy and quiet
And as a humble queen, I'm sitting on my throne
To reign the books and the boxes
the drawers on the shelves
And a decade feels like centuries

And every time I'm coming home
It feels like something should have changed by now

But nothing has
Nothing has

It feels like something should have changed
By now

But nothing has
Nothing has
Except me, Except me

And I hold my breath
And close the door
Hold my breath
And live like I did before
Hold my breath
And scrape the wall
Hold my breath
And dream of me leaving the door behind
