[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Dear Momma, please speak to me once more I’m very scared since the sky fell near us Dear Momma, please speak to me [Verse 2] Dear Momma, please speak to me once more the ringing in my head swallows everything Dear Momma, tell me everything [Chorus] After the smoke clears I don’t recognize this silence the world I remember was always full of laughter [Verse 3] I see your lips are moving slow your hands are shaking, letting go I try to read what I can’t hear your voice is gone, but you are here I drop a stone beside my feet it doesn’t tell me when we meet I clap my hands to check the air but nothing answers anywhere [Bridge] Was it loud… before it disappeared? Was I crying… did you call me near? If I scream now, would it even show or does it vanish where the lost things go? If I hold on to the shape of sound will it come back if I don’t turn around? or is this how the world will be everything there… but not for me [Solo] [Chorus, reprise] After the smoke clears I still can’t find the silence it follows everywhere even inside my laughter the world I remember keeps fading when I try I open up my mouth… but I don’t know if I’m alive [Outro] Dear Momma… [pause] I think you said my name… [pause longer] …say it again.
