Hey dad, dad
I need a little help here
I'm probably talking to myself here
But dad, I gotta ask
Are you really out of state?
'Cause I feel you all around me
Are you here, dad?
Dad
Dad
I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases
I'm a bunch of broken pieces
It was you who's supposed to make me whole
Every day momma's staring at me
Like all, "Hurry up, get happy
Move along
Forget about your dad"
'Cause momma's past denial
Momma doesn't have to feel
She wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal
Ignored it for a while
But Mommas lost her mind for real
You won't believe the mess that you have caused
You're supposed to be home
My destination
And I'm your "clone"
Your "strange creation"
You were supposed to hold my hand
And life would come easy
Now jokes won't land
And no one sees me
Nothing seems to fit
Dad, is this it?
Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in or I'm done
Take me where my soul can run or I'll be in my bedroom
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
Momma moved forward
Momma didn't lose her dad
Dad, won't you send a sign?
I'm running out of hope and time
A plague of mice, a lightning strike
Or drop a nuclear bomb
No more playing mommas game
I'll go insane if things don't change
Whatever it takes to make her say your name
Dad
