My Mother's Only Son

Talks about it all the time

It's a sickness he says

So sure all the time

He hates it

And I honestly believe him

So sure all the time

Maybe the one who screams the most

Screams about himself

Fed up of giving up

Clean cup please drink up

He sees it's eating him up

It's the price he pays

But it's not even worth a dime

So scared that people may find out

He is what he hates

So scared all the time

This is his naked inside

Piece by piece he's trying to build a ladder

For him to fall from

Every time he climbs

He condemns their actions

So that no one will suspect

That he's the victim for his own crime

This is his darkness

In which he will stand

This is his naked inside

Alone in a desert land

And I'm a coward

Shut my eyes and concentrate

On my shell, on soap and shower

Oh God how I want to tell the world

But I hesitate

So why don't I have the guts to tell you he's me?
