dont think about it

don’t think about it

just keep pushing it off

thats how my mother deals

with all the pain and loss

she would rather conceal

and drown in all her thoughts

she thinks its no big deal

but that comes at a cost

takes it down with a pill

and thats how we were taught

shes too afraid to feel

but i am not

tell me whats the appeal

to just be a robot

cant face whats real

and takes another shot

its really not ideal

learn to confront

or else youll never heal

and just self destruct

dont think about it

just keep pushing it off

thats how my mother deals

with all the pain and loss

she would rather conceal

and drown in all her thoughts

she thinks its no big deal

but that comes at a cost

every thing held in

will soon respond

release the safety pin

and she act likes a bomb

its from the combination

of pills and sauvignon

its a sad addiction

thats why my fathers gone

everyone is always greivin’

and it’ll be lifelong

theres really no solution

we just gotta stay strong

dont think about it

just keep pushing it off

thats how my mother deals

with all the pain and loss

takes it down with a pill

and thats how we were taught

shes too afraid to feel

but i am not

im over it
