Going Home

[Verse 1: Scum]
Unless you're far away from home
You'll never understand how much it means to you
You never need not being there
At times it's such a fuckin' pain and there's no pill to make it stop and go away
All you can do is clench your fist and try to finish out your day
You might be hard and cold as ice but missing home don't make you soft
Might have a body in the trunk, just hit the blunt and when you coughed inside your head
You saw a flash of another time and another place
Where you are not, insult that thought, just wipe the smile right off your face
Sometimes it pays for wall to wall inside some roach-infested dream
But a cheap motel in another state
With a phone in hand while trying to zoom in on the pictures that I took before I packed and hit the road
Not knowin' if I'll make it back and feel my heart would just explode
When it's time to hit the stage and give 'em all I fuckin' got
Convertin' pain to violent rage while lettin' a Jäger hit the spot
A serial killer in the night while just a human in the day
Done miss his family and his home so much it hurts while he's away

[Chorus: Scum]
It's time to put the gun away, I'm goin' home now
And there are no more shows to play, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, pretty soon, I'm goin' home
And there's no place that I'd rather be, so I'm goin' home
It's time to put the knife away, I'm goin' home now
Can't wait to finish out this day, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, finally, I'm goin' home
And there is nothing stopping me from going home

[Verse 2: Scum]
Sometimes you do what you have to do
And never question then again it might be something others hate
And they think of you as a piece of shit
And you might care or care less 'cause in the end it matters none
If you are trafficking some drugs or putting in work with a stolen gun
Regardless if your hands are clean or elbow-deep in someone's blood
If you're a soldier in the trench and mixing alcohol and blood In a parking lot in another club where you are scheduled to perform
I'm working in a distant state, trying to stay warm in a winter storm
You cannot help but miss your home no matter where your home may be
Even if you are a psychopath that's on an endless killing spree
Between disposal of the dead and dodgin' cops, you missed the time
You headed home before you snapped and began to live your life of crime
So fuck it, all of what it is will keep you permanently away
And when you done with what you came to do let nothing in your way
And do your best to reach the place to which you're striving to return
A place that's always in your heart until it stops and then you burn

[Chorus: Scum]
It's time to put the gun away, I'm goin' home now
And there are no more shows to play, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, pretty soon, I'm goin' home
And there's no place that I'd rather be, so I'm goin' home
It's time to put the knife away, I'm goin' home now
Can't wait to finish out this day, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, finally, I'm goin' home
And there is nothing stopping me from going home

[Verse 3: Scum]
Let me just leave you with saying I envy the ones that are able to do what they love
Stayin' at home will provide a living for those that they care for beyond and above
Minimal need's not evadin' the police, not servin' the country, and sleepin' at night
And I hope that's why we travel the nation delivering sickness and claim that I'm right
Wish for that life if I wasn't addicted to rockin' the stages and all that I know
Didn't revolve from me beating all over the meth for the shit to continue and grow
Fucked in the head, I'mma slip through my passion, possessed by a demon and destined to roam
Tortured and torment this conflict of interest and thankful I still have a place to call home

[Chorus: Scum]
It's time to put the gun away, I'm goin' home now
And there are no more shows to play, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, pretty soon, I'm goin' home
And there's no place that I'd rather be, so I'm goin' home
It's time to put the knife away, I'm goin' home now
Can't wait to finish out this day, I'm goin' home now
I'm goin' home, finally, I'm goin' home
And there is nothing stopping me from going home
