Mac Lethal - Take Me In My Sleep lyrics

[Verse 1] My mama's in the hospital because she's got a lung disease She has to wear oxygen tanks or it's tough to breathe There's no god-given magic tricks up her sleeves Just an IV tube full of morphine To numb the greed of the doctors and the damages Using $30,000 dollar hospital bills as bandages Diagnosed with little to no chances Until she's crucified on the brittlest old branches I really hit the nail on the head with that one Moon skin feels so pale to the red and black sun Born dead the day Mother Nature miscarried it Life is nothing but a bowl of cherry pits My mama barefaced like the belly of a beetle Puffy from the steroids and medicine they feed you I soak brain water from the crevices and wrinkles with a sponge Settlement for people when they plunge Underwater, broken tail, lunged fish I'm not happy here Twirling fingers in my salt-water taffy tears This whole career thing still isn't in effect So we wrap birthday presents in disability checks You ever pushed your mother in a wheelchair through the store 'Cuz her back's broken, body won't heal there anymore? If so, you know the answer to the question Please take me in my sleep, just don't take me to Heaven And I could quilt you a springtime sweater Please, Mama Bear get better [Hook] (Singing this song for my mother Singing this song for the joy she brings) Take me in my sleep Just don't take me to Heaven Take me in my sleep [Verse 2] Searching for happiness inside is what I do But rainbows are shaped like frowns and the sky is blue And every night the sun goes down upon his girlfriend in turn meaning the light of mine is through In blackness, balloons float away with a string still attached or deflate so I sing 'till it cracks And happy kittens get stuck in happy little trees Which get chopped down and used to crucify kings Well, hydroponic clovers say my luck might drown So I suggest you crucify me upside down I'll re-adjust my crown of thorns to be a flotation device Gash a typhoon until my art s**s highbrow Right now I'm too trite to be elite But I'm borderline born and too bright be a sheep I keep grim benefits, faithfully I reap But I'm skeptical, take me in my sleep Am I too pa**ionate? I mean what the f** am I doing here? Can you relate to my anger problems and Goofy ears? Crack my heart open, scrape the bottom for souvenirs I make this face talking the Moon to tears No, I won't say my old lady's name But she decorates her lungs on the coal-freighting train When the track switches over to a toll-paying lane I feel no ecstasy, it's no role-playing game Hydroponic flowers say my luck might drown So I say turn that smile upside down I'll re-adjust that gown to be a springtime sweater Please Mama Bear get better And I'm ashamed of myself, I can't do no better Please Mama Bear get better [Hook] Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't stand up straight, I don't know how to Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't stand up straight Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't stand up straight, I don't know how to Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't... Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't stand up straight, I'll drown without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't put a smile on your face without you Ashamed of myself, Mama don't go I can't stand up straight... ...Without you Thank you
