Hey mom
Dead mom

I need a little help here
Prob'ly talking to myself here

But, dead mom, I gotta ask
Are you really in the ground?
Cause I feel you all around me

Are you here, dead mom?
Dead Mom

I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases
I'm a bunch of broken pieces

It was you who made me whole

Every day, daddy's staring at me
Like all "Hurry up, get happy

"Move along
Forget about your mom"

But Daddy's in denial
Daddy doesn't want to feel

He wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal

Ignored it for a while
Now daddy's lost his mind for real

You won't believe the mess that we've become

You're my home
My destination

I'm your clone
Your strange creation

You held my hand
Life came easy

Now jokes don't land
And no one sees me

Nothing seems to fit
Mommy, is this it?

Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in

Or I'm done so
Take me where my soul can run

Or I'll be in my bedroom
Wake me when I'm twenty one

Daddy's moving forward
Daddy didn't lose a mom

Mommy, won't you send a sign?
I'm running out of hope and time

A plague of mice
A lightening strike
Or drop a nuclear bomb

No more playing daddy's game
I'll go insane if things don't change

Whatever it takes to make him say your name
Dead Mom
