Lyrics

Kalama

Mother do you know how

All of this has changed us?

I was a fool who

Would always defend you

Was I wrong to like the other

Sisters and brothers abandon?

Forgive my living

Keep me from breathing

A house that is standing

Is no house at all

Mother is it easy

Knowing that I will die soon?

Will you keep me as ashes

Placed on the mantel or thrown out?

Mother do you know now

Love is not painless it's poison?

Forgive my living

Keep me from breathing

A house that is standing

Is no house at all
