Lyrics
Why Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Yeah
Whoa, yeah, hey yeah yeah
Why go home
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, whoa, ah yeah
Ooh
Why go home?
What you taught me, put me here, don't come visit mother
Sting me
Whoa, ooh
Why go home?
What you taught me put me here don't come visit mother, mother
Yeah
Why go home?
Whoa
