Dear Mother Lyrics by Daniel Mackler

0

Dear mother, dear mother
When I bruised up my knee
You said that you wished
It was you hurt, not me
You said that for me
You would suffer and die
But somehow deep down
I knew it was a lie
Love, your son Daniel
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel
It's you I adore
I’m confused by your writing
It cuts to the core
I always was there for you
Morning til night
I'll love you forever
TIL the day that I day
Love, your Mother
Dear mother, dear mother
How could you love me?
You were deep in the bottle
From quartеr past three
From before I could walk
Through my childhood entirе
You smoked marijuana
Like a chimney on fire
Love, your son Daniel
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel
I didn't hurt you
I went to AA when you turned 22
It’s helped me find sanity
And it could help you
If you could be humble and broad minded too
Love, your Mother
Dear Mother, dear Mother
AA is a joke
It's a social addiction
Replacing your smoke
You say that you struggled to become an adult
But instead you found comfort in joining a cult
Love, your son Daniel
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel
AA is not odd
Their program's a miracle thanks be to god
I made my amends and I go with the flow
I resent your resentment, please learn to let go
Love, your Mother
Dear mother, dear mother
You missed what I said
You destroyed half my youth and you messed with my head
As a spiritual vampire my soul you did leech
So you can't make amends in a half hour speech
Love your son Daniel
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel
I really have changed
You think that you know me
Your vision is deranged
You're bitter, you're angry
You're lost in the past
I pray you find happiness
Somehow at last
Love, your Mother
Dear Mother, dear Mother
Your life is on snooze
You worship your happiness like you did booze
You ignore all things painful and bury them deep
I want to resolve them and find honest peace
Love, your son Daniel
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel
From my pain I am free
My source of deep suffering is how you treat me
You're cruel and ungrateful with a mean hearted life
Why don’t you get normal and find a nice wife?
Love, your Mother
Dear Mother, dear mother
I think we are through
I’m breaking the cycle of torture from you
Your parents destroyed you yet you honor them
I throw in the towel and this is the end
Love, your son Daniel
