MOTHERSGUILT

I'm half asleep and grinding on my teeth like they deserve it

I'm wide awake and counting my mistakes, they're perfect

Straighten lines painted on my face, won't leave without a trace

Emptying my mind, figuring out what's left behind

And so it goes

Drop by drop my blood fills the cup, overflows it's never enough

Drop by drop the dream turns to dust, oh oh oh it's never enough

Woke up one morning wondering how it got to this

These hopes you had for me, have long been dead to me

It goes

Drop by drop this weight won't let up, comatose these gears start to rust

Cutting off the parts that you love, oh oh oh the parts that gave up

Maybe I'm scared, feel left behind

But little boys should show no fear

It's been getting kinda tough holding in these tears

I'm getting by on coffee and mother's guilt

I'm getting high on losing what we built

(I'm getting by)

I'm getting by on coffee and mother's guilt

I'm getting by
