about

Welcome to the orphanage my friend. It ain't much but it's home.

lyrics

THE ORPHANAGE

Did your dream lead you far from your home
Just to cheat you
And to beat you
And to leave you on your own
Did you find that your voice even changed
To a soft one
Often quiet
Sort of foreign in a way
Did your thoughts drift off into the void
Contemplation make you crazy
With the questions you employ

Welcome to the orphanage my friend
It ain't much but it's home
Welcome to this family of fools
You ain't gotta be alone anymore

Welcome Home

All my fathers and my mothers
All my sisters and my brothers
All my enemies and lovers
Different versions of each other
And we hold it together
And we rend it apart
And it goes on forever
Like a self perpetuating work of art
