Has been needlessly eroded, and now
I can't make out a person anymore
And construction that began
Was abandoned long ago
Proving a proverb I already know
Chorus:
Houses are not homes, and
Just hell if you're alone
Like you left me
I tried to put a name to
The betrayal that I felt, but
Any way I drew it, it was treason
So building this old noose
For a voodoo hanging or two
It was fun, and now I can hang you
Chorus:
Houses are not homes, and
Just hell if you're alone
I wish I'd known to not waste life on you
Houses are not homes, and
You leave them once you're grown
Like you left me alone
We built a dwelling
Started from the top and reached for the ground
And the house was built of wood
So we could burn it down
Lynch it, hang it, burn it down
Chorus:
Houses are not homes, and
I wish I had known that
You didn't want a home
Just an unsteady abode
Houses are not homes, and
They're just hell if you're alone
Like you left me alone
Houses are not homes
