    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

    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home...

    She seems to be stronger
    But what they want her to be is weak
    She could just pretend
    She could join the game, boy
    She could be another clone

    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    What you taught me
    Put me here
    Don't come visit
    Mother

    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    What you taught me
    Put me here
    Don't come visit
    Mother

    Why go home?
    (repeat...out)


    I'm going to go find the other threads on this song to include them. I'm just including them so you have perspective of other posters without waiting for them to post.

    It's about this girl who was put into an mental institution. She doesn't want to conform to society and do what is expected of her. She just wants to be free and live her life. She also feels neglected and betrayed by her mother. Leaving her in that place, all alone. So, why go home? At least that is what I think.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...
