Mama - Decora

Mama, let me

Go

I can’t feel this feeling anymore

Mama, help me

Stay

Ain’t no use cryin'

Over yesterday

Don’t throw stones in a glass house

Speak clearly with that glass mouth

Mean what you say

Say what you mean

And if you mean mean things, then

Make sure you air it out before you swing

Cuz that just ain’t the thing

No dirty laundry born here

Or broken skins or bruises

First one that scream loses

Sways and swings hearts

But words are fluid like water

Formin' waves and pain in the body

Smile for me and let me know that it’s okay

Frown at me, don’t walk away

What you say?

What you say?

What you say?

Yeah

Tunnels have lights in the end

Corners have choices in the end

Turn them, run fast ‘til they bend

Or you might bend with them

I’m not giving up

I’m just trying not to give in

While looking up and

Thinking that everything will begin again

Everything that I was given

Everything that includes

What makes me feel like I want to stop living

Did I say that?

Don’t display that

That’s just a weakness

Don’t replay that

They’ll sit down and make me speechless

I’ll sit speechless

Body shamed

Mind blamed

Self talk, so strong

Walk strange, walk back

Like you rang your slang

Don’t hang your chest

Don’t hang no roses

No blame, no blind, just bleach

No rules, no teach, just preach

To the choir

Arms too short

No desire

You can’t fire

Is that felt?

Is that felt?

Is that felt?

Is that felt?

Some poetic, some prophetic

So many memories I wish I could edit

But to edit this wish would mean I would have to reject it

The curse is more like a blessing

Blessing’s just like the curse

One in the same

The tear that moistens the dry skin is to blame

See the smile that boasts my ego

Lessens another, but the

Warmth of my mother

Is just the cold wind over her shoulder

As she turns away

I say, «Come back»

But she’s not here to stay

I realize it, day after day

Mama, let me

Go

I can’t feel this feeling anymore

Mama, help me

Stay

Ain’t no use cryin

Over yesterday
