Mom I I let you down And though you say the days are Why is the power off, and I'm up? And mom, I he's not around But don't you the blame on me As you pour another drink and
I we are who we are shining in the dark night, I drive on Maybe we this too far
I in headfirst Never thinking who what I said hurt, in what verse My mom got it the worst The of it, but as stubborn as we are Did I take it too Cleaning out my and all them other songs But regardless I don't you 'cause ma! You're still beautiful to me, cause my mom far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam Desert Storm and both of us put Can form an atomic equivalent to chemical warfare And forever we can this on and on But, agree to gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me You're kicking me out? It's degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little prick just leave) Ma, let me my fucking coat, anything to have each other's goats Why we always at each others Especially when dad, he fucked us both We're in the same fucking boat, think that it'd make us close (nope) Further away drove us, but together headlights shine, a car full of belongings got a ways to go, back to grandma's house it's straight up the road And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my carried the weight of the load Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight old, and That's when I realized you sick and it wasn't fixable or changeable And to this day we remained estranged and I it though, but
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark I drive on Maybe we took too far
'Cause to this day we estranged and I hate it though 'Cause you ain't even get to witness grand baby's growth But I'm sorry mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was Rightfully maybe so, meant that far to take it though, 'cause Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe time it's on the radio And I think of Nathan being in a home And all the you fed us And how I just you to taste your own, but Now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's painful But ma, I you, so does Nathan yo All you did, all you said, you did your to raise us both Foster care, that you bare, few may be as heavy as yours But I love you Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, 'cause One thing I never asked was the fuck my deadbeat dad was Fuck it I guess he had trouble up with every address But I'd have every mattress, every rock and desert cactus Own a collection of maps and followed my to the edge of the atlas Someone ever moved them from me? That you bet your ass's If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap And although one has met grandma Once you pulled up in our drive one night as we leaving to get some hamburgers Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, you And as you left I had this sadness come over me As we pulled off to go our paths, and I saw your as I looked back And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for my Mom and my Dad So Mom, please this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to get this off my chest, I I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead The stewardess said to fasten my seat belt, I guess crashing So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you get this that I'll always love you from afar you're my mama
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark I drive on Maybe we took too far
I a new life One without a So I'm home tonight no matter what the cost And if the goes down Or if the crew wake me up Just know I was alright And I was not to die
Oh if there's songs to sing My will carry me Just know I'm alright I was not to die Because I put my faith in my new So I say goodbye cruel world Just that I'm alright I am not to die
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark I drive on Maybe we this too far, I want a new life
