Electric Daylight Going Home
Children, don’t you feel so alone
Run back to your mommy and daddy at home
For so long you’ll think this house is so safe
One day you learn you gotta get out of this place
It’s much worse than you thought before
They’re knocking down your bedroom door
Already know where you’ll end up
Soon they’ll see you knew yourself
Because you’re going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours
Children vanish like tracks in the snow
Those pathways we refuse to follow
Pretending nothing could befall this house
We make believe this home is truly ours
I’m not the child you think I am
We never end where we began
I’ve learned for myself right from wrong
This is not where I belong
I will be going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours
Dear Mama it’s not the warmth I regret
18 years of a roof over my head
What I need to show some respect
I’ll show you that I won’t end up dead
Not now because you’re going home
Leaving them behind their doors
Take me to the only place I’ve never known
When I’m no longer yours
I was never yours
