[Lyric] Hiding Home (Nouhi's Nomad)

[Verse 1]
The curtains rise and who they were is gone
They recite their lines and the pressure's on
A joke on which her life and his now depend
A story of love, a comedy of errors

[Verse 2]
The crowd is vicious and smells blood in the air
They sense a weakness and they write to kill
Too soon, far too soon, goes another crew
Sick with the bends and they never had a flare

[Chorus]
Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust
Rain came down and turned metal into rust
That's why he's hiding home, hiding home
He's hiding home while the overture goes

[Verse 3]
A graveyard of ships, all with torn off masts
They weren't the first and they won't be the last
But for now, he's bailing out and buying a property
In a city too far for them to notice or care for him
[Chorus]
Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust
Rain came down and turned metal into rust
That's why he's hiding home, hiding home
He's hiding home while the overture goes

[Verse 4]
And now he's here, right in front of you
He's on a stage somewhere and you're on it too
What will you say to him, as he boards your ship
And the critics' pens, they come down on you
