As an alternate choice for the final track of The Afterman: Ascension, “The Homecoming” shares similar themes with the album’s closing song, “Subtraction”. In both songs, Mari Amory grapples with her husband Sirius' decision to explore the Keywork instead of staying safe at home with her.
[Verse 1]
We are a living absolute
Stuck in an anguished innocence
This moment loved, I greet the sun
And wake from a war I could have won
Well in your arms I'll keep this
Memory to me
This kitchen floor won't reveal
All the things I felt for you, oh
[Chorus]
Please level with me, understand
I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
[Verse 2]
The dust a-dance against my breath
The world awaken slowly dressed
A life unanswered in the light
With questions scattered in the night
And now my heart feels heavy
The weight will drag me down
You were the only reason
They'd find me here tonight
[Chorus]
Please level with me, understand
I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Please level with me, understand
I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Loneliness is why you hurt
Please level with me, understand
I'd do, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
