Lyrics for Home

A junkie walking through the twilight I'm on my way home I left three days ago, but no one seems to know I'm gone Home is where the hatred is and Home is filled with pain and it, Might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went home again Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams home is where the needle marks try to heal my broken heart and it might not be such a bad idea if I never, if I never went home again Stand as far away from me as you can yes and ask me why Hang on to your rosary beads, close your eyes to watch me die You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, god, but did you ever try To turn your sick soul inside out so that the world, so that the world can watch you die Watch you die Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams home is where the needle marks And it tried and tried and tried And it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again Yes it might not be such a bad idea if I never It might not be such a bad idea Seems like I need to get out of here It might not be such a bad idea Seems like I need to get out of here It might not be such a bad idea It might not be such a bad idea It might not be such a bad idea
