Mama Make the Pain Stop

Come wreck

You were nothing but a kid when we met

May I never forget

The way I begged you to believe

You were talking strange

And I gave up when they said you were saved

So pull my head close

Tell me I was brave

But do not take him from me please

Drinking lithium

Vaguely dressed

Caligula smiled

And he rose from his desk

And I'll break all his teeth

And my knees will go weak

But I held nothing from you

He said

Mama make the pain stop

Daddy fill the bathtub

Still hear you breathing through the crack in my door

Hollow in the hallway

Heavy on the doorframe

I don't want to hurt no more

But don't you cry

When the fire fills the holes in your eyes

I was terrified

For the thing that you became I craved

Then with fists like lead,

You wrote letters from your hospital bed

And when they held you down

You see I loved you just the same

So please do not shiver

When I tell you that

The force between the lightening

And the thunder clap

Is the same that drew death from the cusp of your breath

When I was nothing to you

He said Mama make the pain stop

Daddy fill the bathtub

Low was your breathing

And slow was your kiss

Hold me in the hallway

Leaning on the doorframe

Oh my, Mama, I never meant to leave you like this

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Heavy was your weight when you leant on her shoulder

Hallowed be the mark you left on her breast

Mama make the pain stop

Daddy fill the bathtub

Tell her that there's nothing left
