Word to your mother.

I’ve got my brain on inside out
And I cannot help but shout
That you never loved me
The way I loved you best
And this world’s tired and old
Quite a lot like the two of us
Remember what you’ve been told
And forget what you knew of us

If the day is done tonight
The sun doesn’t rise tomorrow
Please tell your mother
That there never was another
And I loved her daughter
More that I could ever say

My eyes are in upside down
But you are my crown
You’re the contest and the prize
I won by being clever
As we act on our whims
Only love will be our mentor
But when you ask to come in
I’ll bid you do not enter

If the day is done tonight
The sun doesn’t rise tomorrow
Please tell your mother
That there never was another
And I loved her daughter
More that I could ever say

My ears are on backwards
Yours are the best lies I’ve ever heard
I’ll knit together all of your yarns
Into a perfect tent
You take a page from my book
And three chapters from my story
I’ll say I made you look
But I’ll never say I’m sorry

If the day is done tonight
The sun doesn’t rise tomorrow
Please tell your mother
That there never was another
And I loved her daughter
More that I could ever say
