Mama Knows
My darling little girl Mama knows it hurts all the time But now is the time To sew the jagged pieces Of your torn heart together -Kel Dayheart
Staged

You are a lie Told to comfort But it is only an illusion A false warmth To blanket others in -Kel Dayheart
Crash
Caffeine rushes through my blood In an empty rush That slowly crashes Like the driver Who thought he could make it Those last few miles Before sleep -Kel Dayheart
