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?
