Momma told me I was okay And what I was feeling was normal Having sadness drop into my heart frequently The way your stomach drops when you're on a roller coaster Was okay
Momma told me I was okay And what I was feeling was normal That letting the blade swipe my skin Like a credit card being swiped through a machine Was okay
Momma told me I was okay And that no feeling at all was normal That popping 'special pills for sad people' continuously Like the never ending tick of a clock Was okay
But momma never told me she'd stopped taking her 'special' pills And, Momma, I don't think that we're okay
