Mama Lyrics

Wrinkled and wet, all curled up

Fetus protected by fluids and blood

Kick then crawl, cry then speak

Oh mama, skin to skin, protect me

Hit clenched fists against the air

Selfishness, it's never fair

Pierce the sky, cry so shrill

Oh mama, see my sins, love me still

But does she love herself?

What am I then? What am I then?

Can I learn by myself?

When will it end?

Oh it's hard, oh so common

'Cause it starts with the comments

How would I know?

Oh mama, shield me as I grow

Lanky arms, grow so thin

Rake your eyes across my skin

Is this what they're about?

Oh mama, didn't warn me now

But did she know herself?

What am I then? What am I then?

Can I learn by myself?

When will it end?

Oh, it's hard, oh so hard

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?

Oh it's hard, oh so hard

When mamas staring back at me

Oh, it's hard, oh so hard

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?

Oh it's hard, oh so hard

When mama's staring back at me

'Cause does she love herself?

What am I then? What am I then?

Can I learn by myself?

When will it end?
