Is This Still Home?
The song begins with intertwining cello and piano arpeggios, adding expressive violin and subtle night sound effects for a melancholy, immersive atmosphere, Sweet, clear female vocals enter, joined by lush harmonies, Orchestral strings, snare drums, and synth pads swell, while electric guitar and strong percussion intensify cinematic choruses, maintaining a rich, emotive soundscape throughout

Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was small, I was yours,
I thought that should mean safe.
But your footsteps, your words,
Made me shrivel and quake
I needed you to love me
To tell me I was okay
Wipe the tears, chase the fears
Not rip my belief away
Prechorus:
Your hands that should’ve built me up
Taught me how to fall.
Your voice still echoes through my mind
I can’t hear mine at all.
Chorus:
Is this still my home?
This house of terror and tears
How can this be home
When I’m hurt each day I’m here
Am I still your own
When you broke things I can’t undo
Can I still come home
Can I build myself anew?
Verse 2:
Some days I wonder
If this heart can ever mend
And something still whispers
I’ll turn into you at the end
How can I build a home
From these broken stones,
How can I be a mother
When I’m still a child, alone?
Prechorus:
Your hands that should’ve built me up
Taught me how to fall.
Your voice still echoes through my mind
I can’t hear mine at all.
Chorus:
Is this still my home?
This house of terror and tears
How can this be home
When I’m hurt each day I’m here
Am I still your own
When you broke things I can’t undo
Can I still come home
Can I build myself anew?
Bridge:
I pray now to give what I never received
To unlearn the lies I was taught to believe
I’ll rise tonight, I still can be saved
I’ll be the love that you never gave
Prechorus:
Your hands should have built me up
But I’ll emerge from this fall.
Your voice still echoes through my mind
But now I can hear my own call.
Final Chorus:
This was my home
This place of terror and tears
But I’ll make a home
Where the walls can hold my fears
I am still my own
Though you broke things I can’t undo
I still can come home
I’ll stand, rebuilt and true
Bridge:
I pray now to give what I never received
To unlearn the lies I was taught to believe
I’ll rise tonight, I still can be saved
I’ll be the love that you never gave
Final Chorus:
This was my home (home)
This place of terror and tears
But I’ll make a home (home)
Where the walls can hold my fears
I am still my own (own)
Though you broke things I can’t undo
I still can come home (home)
I’ll stand, rebuilt and true
