Mama, will you still call me your son? When I am broken and too tired to run Through a life that goes no direction Down a path I built with my dreams Mama, can you hear my voice in the wind? Well I called for you like I did when I was ten Frozen by the copperheads that crowd at my feet Now the snakes are big city streets (Leave us alone) Well I am alone singing to myself Hoping no one else remembers that I failed Made nothing of myself Oh Mama, will you care? Mama, I can see you're scared for you son You can see me burning out when I am done Reaching high up on my toes For dreams that won't come true but that's how it goes And yeah, I know that I am alone singing to myself Hoping no one else remembers that I failed Made nothing of myself Oh Mama, will you care?
