lyrics

Why won't you say it? Damn it
Say it: when the bullet hit
what did you make of it?
Sudden red stain concrete
Who could you grow to be?
Why didn't you scream?
Why didn't you scream?

Please come back home
Aren't you tired of fighting someone else's war?
Please come back home
You got so good at fighting
you don't want peace anymore

They wanna see bloodshed
We gut ourselves alone
So we may stand confident
Against the angry ghosts
that dress like our friends
Your heart is a millstone;
your heart is burden,
but our son he creates these paintings
and they're beautiful but you, you'll never see
He wears a day lilies and thorn crown
He says I'm scared but I'm not weary
and I just wanna keep him safe and sound

Please come back home
Aren't you tired of fighting someone else's war?
Please come back home
You got so good at fighting
you don't want peace anymore

It's been so many years my love, my love
I still miss you I need you so much
I just don't wanna die knowing
your hate will be the death of us

Please come back home
Aren't you tired of fighting someone else's war?
Please come back home
You got so good at fighting
you don't want peace anymore
