lyrics

I look around this room
Everything’s foreign
There’s nothing familiar to me
I just wanna go home
But I’m stuck on this table
Being stuck with a needle all night
She says that this won’t hurt a bit
This lady and her needle are full of shit

I’m in a cold, dark room
I don’t know where my family is at
Just yesterday I was living the dream
With a nice cold bowl of my favorite ice cream
I don’t feel so well today
Doc says my guts are wasting away
And if we don’t do something it’ll only get worse
Lady leave me alone
I just wanna go home

I haven’t eaten a thing
In a week or so
I just hope this doesn’t last
I know that somethings wrong
Cuz you won’t take me home and you won’t stop crying
Why are you crying
She says that this won’t hurt a bit
This lady and her lab coat are full of shit

I’m in a cold, dark room
I don’t know where my family is at
Just yesterday I was living the dream
With a nice cold bowl of my favorite ice cream
I don’t feel so well today
Doc says my guts are wasting away
And if we don’t do something it’ll only get worse
Lady leave me alone
I just wanna go home

If I make it out of this one alive
I’ll never take it for granted
I know the surgery wasn’t cheap tonight
You’re the reason that I’m still standing
I hope you know I love you all
For everything you gave to me
You took me in when I was small
You showed me what a man can be
And as long as I’m still kicking
You will always hear me say
There’s no where else I’d rather be
Than right here with my family

I’m in a cold, dark room
I don’t know where my family is at
Just yesterday I was living the dream
With a nice cold bowl of my favorite ice cream
I don’t feel so well today
Doc says my guts are wasting away
And if we don’t do something it’ll only get worse
Lady leave me alone
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
