Are You My Mother?

I have Cheez-Itz stuck in my teeth

And I haven’t seen the light of day for like 24 hours

But I didn’t think this is how my life would be

I watched an episode of Dateline

Where they told the story of a lonely and malicious guy

And he killed 3 members of his own family

I don’t think they were expecting anything

He was a scholarly student and went to church every week

It's hard to tell the truth but I won’t lie

This is the hardest part of being alive

They turned off all the lights

Because the bill wasn’t paid on time

And we all know that this rotting corpse has died

And a soul cries out into the night

Have you seen my mother?

And a soul cries out into the night

Have you seen my mother?

And I wrote while on my knees

A confession to the gods about why I can’t seem to eat

And I found familiarity

In the words and phrases that had once been spoken to me

Go get 'em kid, you’ve got all you need

Go take the world by storm and leave your mark on everything

But I sat

And went back to sleep

And couldn’t get up in the morning

This is not news to me

And maybe I should just be a little more kind
