Mama
Three kids yet she's got none of them
Her mind is in a daze
She'll never ever change
A needle in her arm
And a strung out husband on the side
What kind of life is that?
She'll never ever change
Mama please,
We need you.
We need you but you don't need us
No, not anymore.
You say you love us,
Mama no need to lie.
You're gone.
You can't deny.
We see it in your eyes,
Emptiness.
She'll never ever change
One pill, two pill, three
How many will it take till she can't feel a thing?
Mama,
What did we do?
Are we that burden you can't shake?
Is that the reason why you do the things that you do?
