Psychopathic Mother

(album: Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance - 2004)

Your psychopathic mother told you
You were beautiful
Just not beautiful enough
I know why you give yourself away
Cause they make you feel special
But you never feel special enough
And I can still feel your skin
Still warm from the hot desert sky

[Chorus:]
Here, right now is all there is
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow never comes
Right here, right now is all there is
Was it something that I said?
You just went numb

Your disinterested father taught you
That a mans attention is precious
And you never called his bluff
I gave everything I could to you
Cause I think you're precious
I could never make you feel precious enough
And I could still breathe you in
Oh Layah I won't even try

[Chorus:]
Here, right now is all there is
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow never comes
Right here, right now is all there is
We laughed until we bled
It felt so dumb

Your psychopathic mother told you
You were beautiful
Just not beautiful enough
