Mamma's Song

Dear Mama, it's almost my birthday

You knew I'd use my thumbs

They flick the ashes to the ground

And keep me on the run

Now dear Mama, is it frightening

To watch ourself get older?

Mama, will I know when I've found home? (Home)

Now dear Mama, it seems to me, yeah

Just the sun and moon are real

And they're the furthest things

The furthest things from my touch (From my touch)

Well, I don't like who I am

Who I been, or who I'll be

And there I'll know my reflection

I am a monster, I am the beast

And dear Mama, there's no one left but you to pray

You to pray for me

Now dear Mama, the sun is risin'

And it's all uphill from here

And I been runnin' from a levee

That's gushin' water still

Now Mama, I'm so sorry

Well, for all of my mistakes

If forgiveness is real, then I might live another day

Now Mama, I think I'm broken

Was I born this way?

I'm the worst person that I've ever been

And too guilty to explain

Well, I don't like who I am

Who I been, or who I'll be

And there I'll know my reflection

I am a monster, I am the beast

And dear Mama, there's no one left but you to pray

You to pray for me

Pray for me

Pray for me

Now dear Mama, I know you still pray

I know you pray for me

Oh, Mama, when you talk to God

Pray that He sets me free

Free
