True Home is a break from conventional songwriting form.
Fearless mystic lifting the veil
Crying echo pierced with a nail…
I was dreaming when I wrote this. Forgive me if it goes astray…
Actually, I woke up from a dream with the chorus completely finished. The verse groove came from the dream state too but the melody and lyrics came later. True Home is an experiment with form and the rational mind. I was reading a lot of Zen poetry and my idea was to not be limited by the rational mind but to transmit a transrational realization. Thus the Zen koan, “I have arrived. I have not moved. This is my True Home.”
I took this idea further by stretching the metaphors - crying echo/bleeding footprint. The verse is actually 3 separate melodies - each moving towards the realization “This is my True Home.” And the chorus pointing to the ever-present Love that exists in that transcended/included space.
I really like rocking out to this one 
True Home
Fearless mystic
Lifting the veil
Crying echo
Pierced with a nail
Spirit calling every day
Phantom feeling has gone away
I have arrived
I have not moved
This is my TRUE HOME
Chorus:
All we really need to get by
Is the love that we make today
All we really need in this life
Is the love that we’ve thrown away
Sacred shower
Healing the land
Bleeding footprint
Left in the sand
Lightning striking
Eyes ablaze
Burning shadow
And darkness fades
I have arrived
I have not moved
This is my TRUE HOME
Chorus:
All we really need to get by
Is the love that we make today
All we really need in this life
Is the love that we’ve thrown away
I have arrived
I have not moved
This is my TRUE HOME
Chorus:
All we really need to get by
Is the love that we make today
All we really need in this life
Is the love that we’ve thrown away
