My Mom

Have you ever had a dream

That your favorite baby's drowning

And you grab him by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and

You can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut

Push his belly up and down but he can't cough the water up

Suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him

He's empty now

There isn't even one small breath

And he goes limp in your arms

All the people's mouths are moving

All you hear are car alarms

And you wake up and start to cry

I will lose my shit if even one more person I know dies

So please don't die

My mom's sick she's in a hospital bed

I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head

And all you skeletons in her closet

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone, please

Because my mom needs you gone

My mom needs you gone

As long as she is haunted she'll never get strong

My mom needs you gone

You traded all your paper clips for a soap dish that way

Your best friend's rubber ducky wouldn't slip and slide away

But he traded his rubber duck for a cigar box to place your paper clips in

Mr. Hooper came to say

"oh my dear friends Bert and Ernie

Here's a little something for each of you from me

Here are your paper clips and here's your rubber ducky

How could I ignore such selfless generosity?"

The human body's made up of good and bad bacteria

But the antibiotics and the antibacterials are killing all the good ones

And the bad ones just get stronger and become super infections

It's harder to destroy them and it's harder to detect them

And there's something in her blood

And there's something in her leg

And there's something in her brain

My mom's sick she's in a hospital bed

I've got a word for all you ghosts in her head

And all you skeletons in her closet

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone

Leave her alone, please

Because my mom needs you gone

My mom needs you gone

As long as she is haunted she'll never get strong

My mom needs you gone

My mom needs you gone

My mom needs you gone

My mom needs you gone
