Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone

Maybe someday, another child won't feel as alone as she does

It's been two years and counting since they put her in this place

She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees

[Chorus]

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home?

[Verse 2]

She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak

She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy

She could be another clone

Ooh! Ah! Ah, yeah

[Chorus]

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why go home?

What you taught me put me here

Why go home? Why go home?

Don't come visit, mother, sing me

Why go home?

[Outro]

Oh, why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why go home?

What you taught me put me here

Why go home? Why go home?

Don't come visit, mother, mother, yeah

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why go home?

Why go home? Why?
