Home Is Where the Hatred Is
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
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
Tried 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
And ask me, "Why?"
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes and 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
Tried and tried and tried
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
If I never went home again
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
And it might not be such a bad idea
See I need to get outta here
And it might not be such a bad idea
See what I got need to get outta here
And it might not be such a bad idea
And it might not be such a bad idea
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
Never, never, never
Never went home
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
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
Tried 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
And ask me, "Why?"
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes and 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
Tried and tried and tried
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
If I never went home again
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
And it might not be such a bad idea
See I need to get outta here
And it might not be such a bad idea
See what I got need to get outta here
And it might not be such a bad idea
And it might not be such a bad idea
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never
Never, never, never
Never went home
