about

an ode to my childhood, a transitional period. to the little girl who wanted her hand held, to the mother that drank.

lyrics

slowly, some things are coming through the cracks
tumbled like sea glass, no time for me to react
you pulled the rug out, now I count the days between
phone calls, empty halls - tell me, what did it all mean?

Mama, Mama, will you let me hold your hand?
I don't understand, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone.

A mattress, no headboard, all alone on the hardwood floor
unlocked door, can't ignore the sound of your flask in the bottom drawer
drowning in it, too gone to spin it: your story
villain me, no home of my own, who's winning?

Mama, Mama, will you let me hold your hand?
I don't understand, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone.

I feel you rising in my throat, haunting the stillness with your silence -
did you ever love me?

Mama, Mama, will you let me hold your hand?
I don't understand, you're gone, you're gone.
