Dear Andy, When You Know
Mom, mom what's on your head?
Did someone hurt you
Did they hurt my best friend?
No, there's this rain cloud
That settled low in here
I'm trapped in here
Can't get out of here
Mom, mom you have to wake up
Why aren't you here,
Why you givin' up?
Cause different people
Holdin' different keys
Can't figure out
Which ones right for me
Can't figure out
Which door is free
Seems each one
comes with a cost
A little bit of gain
A *lot* of bit a loss
So I've settle here
under this rain
It's taken years and years
And overtaken my brain
This rain has turned
And then it seems to shine
Confusion, Deception
All tormenting my mind
Mom, mom you have to wake up
Why aren't you here,
Why you givin' up?
Daughter, sister come fill that cup
Wife, stranger, enough is enough
Hater, lover, cheater, friend
Can't seem to
Identify them
A coffee, a picture
A lyric, a song
A pastor, a preacher,
a drink so strong
Mom, mom you have to wake up
Why aren't you here,
Why you givin' up?
Because son,
Storms are brewing in here
I'm hiding, I'm running
I'm living in fear
There's this rain cloud
It settled low in here
I'm trapped in here
Not found in here
Mom, mom you have to wake up
Why aren't you here,
Why you givin' up?
Cause I can't seem to find
A teacher, a friend
Everyone betraying me
Again and again
But mom wake up,
quit looking for them
I'm your greatest love
I'm your best-est friend
Don't you see
this cool picture I drew
It's because all the love
I have for you
Mom wake up
You are enough
Love me forever
Just don't give up
Son I'm sorry
I've failed you too
See all these storms
They always brew
But imma find the strength
I need for you
I'll get up
I'll fight for you
I'm sorry I was asleep
for so so long
I'm a broken lyric
A broken song
You're apart of me
And you're apart of him
I'll knit us all
Together again
Mom, mom you've waken up
This seizure overtook you
Long enough
It's ok if you can't drive away
Today is the day
You begin to stay
I know your brain broke
a time or two
But your love is what
I've always knew
I'm your greatest love
Your best-est friend
It's time to wake up
It's time again
Son thank you
For calling 9-1-1
There was this creature
And he's had some fun
Stuck a bullet
It's still in my brain
For 7 years
I've been going insane
Son thank you
For saving my life
It happened once
Now it's happened twice
Did someone hurt you
Did they hurt my best friend?
No, there's this rain cloud
That settled low in here
I'm trapped in here
Can't get out of here
Mom, mom you have to wake up
Why aren't you here,
Why you givin' up?
Cause different people
Holdin' different keys
Can't figure out
Which ones right for me
Can't figure out
Which door is free
Seems each one
comes with a cost
A little bit of gain
A *lot* of bit a loss
So I've settle here
under this rain
It's taken years and years
And overtaken my brain
This rain has turned
And then it seems to shine
Confusion, Deception
All tormenting my mind
Mom, mom you have to wake up
