Mom, I have these visions way back then I was three
You, Me, Dad and my brother all sitting around the Christmas tree
We were all opening our presents from Santa Claus
'Cause this year we could, the first year we didn't get robbed
I know how hard you saved to get John that fishing rod
I used to hear you when you got the bills, you'd just sit and sob
I know things were tough when we were growin' up
Especially when Dad died, that fuckin' sucked
I know I flew off the rails that year, I fucked shit up
I got my act together, I was just out of touch
I heard about the tax collector, Why'd he take so much?
Some things I don't remember, I hope you read this letter
Answer my questions and help me remember better
Like when the money came through for Dads death
Why'd you get lipo, for the guys you were tryna impress?
You could'a paid the bills or just bought a dress
[CHORUS]
Two years gone in the blink of an eye
No money, a drinking problem and a new guy
We'd go hungry as long as you got your bottle nearby
John stole money to find some noodles he could buy
When you found out you didn't even care
Your son was starving and stealing but you'd just sit and stare
Too fucked out your face to realize he was even there
You must know I resuscitated you twice
Twice, that's fucking twice I've saved your life
Three times is too much, please don't make it thrice
Go to rehab and get back to what you used to be
Dads gone but together again we can be a family
Just put bottle down and we'll help you get clean
It'll be just like old times except just with you, John and me
Please mom, I'm on my knees
I want it to be like my visions again when I was three
You, Me, Dad and my brother all sitting around the Christmas tree
We were all opening our presents from Santa Claus
'Cause this year we could, the first year we didn't get robbed
I know how hard you saved to get John that fishing rod
I used to hear you when you got the bills, you'd just sit and sob
I know things were tough when we were growin' up
Especially when Dad died, that fuckin' sucked
I know I flew off the rails that year, I fucked shit up
