| Home Written in the summer of 2002 it was debuted live by Mark in Portland that September and has been played, solo & with a band since. Along with the "Love Songs For Patriots" version, there is a live version found on the live tour CD "A Toast For You" recorded in Pittsburgh in November 2004. There is also a solo demo and a Jay Bennet produced band demo available on the "Demos Before Love Songs" Tour CD. Finally there is a radio edit of the track on a Cooking Vinyl promo cd for that specific song. A further studio rehearsal version has been released on the 2008 tour CD "Atwater Afternoon" |
| It's easy to leave
It's hard to stay behind and rest With all the stupid things I believe and watch my life drift like dust I hope I make it to a warm heart I hope that's where I belong I hope I don't end up out of breath Wherever the washed up are hung I'm afraid of my own shadow because it's what I've become Why do I waste my time with people who'll never love anyone? My only sin, my only sin: I started hating my own skin Home Home Home I hope I make it home I got lost and the road dragged on and on I couldn't remember what I was chasing No, or what I had become I always thought my life looked much better at a distance Now I'm just another set of eyes lost in the blur and the only thing left in this world that bothers to hate me is my pride No one sees me, they don't need to to know I slipped away with the tide Home Home Home I hope I make it home I got lost, I started hating my own skin |
