Welcome home, they said as they beckoned me close
Welcome home, they said as they opened the doors
Welcome home, they said as they waved me in 
Welcome home, they said as they gave me a life of gold
But it-

Didn't take long to realize that this wasn't right
Didn't take long to realize this wasn't mine

Welcome home, welcome home
Now that I've finally found you
Welcome home, welcome home
Take my hand in yours and lead the way

Welcome home, they said as I let them in 
Welcome home, they said as I opened the gates
Welcome home, they said as we laughed and cried
Welcome home, they said as I saw our fates
And it- 

Didn't take long to feel that all was right
Didn't take long to feel good as new

Welcome home, welcome home 
Now that I've finally found you 
Welcome home, welcome home 
Take my hand in yours and lead the way

I know it sounds selfish, I know it sounds naïve
But I just wanna hold on, just a little bit
I know it sounds selfish, I know it sounds naïve
But I just wish that I'd stopped paradise from falling down

Welcome home, welcome home
Now that I've finally found me
Welcome home, welcome home
Take my hand in yours and let's pave the way

Let's go home.

Thank you, Castle of Shadows and all its inhabitants. This wouldn't have been possible without you all. Creating the Castle has been one of, if not THE best decision in my life, and right now as I write the end of an album before finishing its start, I have just suffered from cursed parenting (yeah, that day. This has been kept unpublished for quite a while now). But that doesn't matter - you all do <3

All my love, 
Lily Wystfall
