Dear Mother, we all got bad days
And I know you'll understand
Where we open up a foreign door
With a pair of foreign hands
Where we find ourselves alone at the foot
Of a pair of foreign stairs
Dear Mother, you know how our bad days
Can catch you unawares, and catch us unawares
ย
Dear Mother, we all got bad days
And I know that you'll agree
With a bottle that's filled up with Vicodin
And a child who looks just like me
And a cellar that's as dark as winter's cold
With a hole in the stone cold wall
And a child like me who's hiding
A child who can't hear your call
There's a string that runs through our bad days
If you pull that string real tight
The days all crumple together
And all that you see is night
ย
And the doorknob becomes your enemy
And the window, you see through a haze
Dear Mother, I wish you could stand inside
And see all my bad days
ย
Well, my bad days all got together
And they stood in a row for me
And I plunged deep into the row
And I couldn't hear and I couldn't see
And I came out after thousands came
And thousands passed away
Now I stand all alone at the foot of the stairs
And I wait for more bad days
There's a string that runs through our bad days
If you pull that string real tight
The days all crumple together
And all that you see is night
ย
And the doorknob becomes your enemy
And the window, you see through a haze
Dear Mother, I wish you could stand inside
And see all my bad days
