Song lyrics
I had a way then, losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat, and I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-Calling-Calling Home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that I still breath in

And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-Calling-Calling Home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

(lights-lights-lights-lights)
(lights-lights-lights-lights)
Home-Home-Home-Home

You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home
Calling-Calling-Calling Home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

Home-Home-Home-Home
(lights-lights-lights-lights)
(lights-lights-lights-lights)

Home-Home-Home-Home
(lights-lights-lights-lights)
(lights-lights-lights-lights)

This is a great song but I like the Bassnector remix better than the album version

I love her voice, she has the old school house/techno voice going on. But does anyone else find this to be a strange reference to Alice in Wanderland?

Simple song, with not too much of instrumental background - but beautiful. Made me cry.. And in that case, song is incredible.
