Home isn't home

Lyzander Sohkhlet 2005 (Shillong)

Give me a home
This isn't mine
A home so sombre
A home that i can wear lightly
Where the rooms aren't clogged

Give me back my home
A home 'twas jolly
A home so pleasant
Without no fights
A home so noxious
An alien, when i try to belong

Give me back my home
A home so blessed
A home where i belong
