Laughing and crying, like a maniac Driving faster and faster With my school friend the passenger She asks her to kindly slow the the car She's afraid now, and she wants to go home But these roads are dark and deep Mama feels the need to drive them fast To drag her car across her past Before it traps her Like a thinly stretched rubber band Bound too tightly not to break "Let her pick her poison" "Let her pick her pain." "Don't look at her that way." The radio plays "damaged" They ask if she's alright As she bursts into tears, I say "she's like this all the time."

Manic Mama
