Headstone Epitaph - Mama lyrics

[Martin: a heavy riff expressing an even heavier message: child abuse.] [vers:] Mama would you listen to your son would you listen to what I say can't you see that helpless one can't you see me how I pray I'm afraid to tell you what I bear say no word to no one by god you swear Mama do you know what I really know do you know what I conceal it is terrible and horrible and no one can feel what I feel I deny myself and I deny my pain my childhood turns from sunshine into rain [ref:] Mama are you blind if only the father in heaven is with me he gives me the answer to be I wish he could not find my hide-out if you're not at home those bad times if we are alone
