lyrics

Mama beat me with her words today
Can’t ever outrun my past ways
But mama, mama
One day I’m gonna fly, fly, fly, fly away
Cause I’m more than just an answer on a page,
I’m a growing man, and I gonna make it through
Or so I tell myself as I stay in my cardboard room
Wallowing in a pool of retched thoughts
And bad dreams. They consume me
Till I’ve had enough,
Gotta lift myself up off the ground
It ain’t my fault won’t work this time

Cause there ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come easy
There ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come free
Leave your silver spoon upon the kitchen table
You’ve gotta work just to make end’s meet

I’m leaving mama
One day after tomorrow
I hope you’ll miss me dearly
God knows you deserve the misery
I won’t be coming around to see you
No, no, I gotta tough it out on my own

Cause there ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come easy
There ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come free
Leave your silver spoon upon the kitchen table
You’ve gotta work just to make end’s meet

Mama beat me with her words today
Can’t ever outrun my past ways
But mama, mama
One day I’m gonna fly, fly, fly, fly away

Cause there ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come easy
There ain’t a thing in life that’s gonna come free
Leave your silver spoon upon the kitchen table
You’ve gotta work just to make end’s meet

The days run fast, the weeks feel long…
I wait for the day that you’ll be gone…
