I'm a day late I'm in jeopardy I'm a namesake I'm a memory If I came straight would you remember me? When the day breaks Let it be I can't change who I am now Couldn't change who I was then I been known to break the gates of faith down I been known to 'scape the face and face kin I been known by a few friends, small family Bruised skin, through tragedy My true youth been through a travesty And made it happily to look back, be here Welcome my people to Benjamin's regress Looking for regrets Inside of a place that I hope I can egress I'm trying to be best Held up out here while I'm try'na de-stress Looking for defects Maybe I'll find them before I go eject Huh, my grandmother been through a hellish endeavor Made it through weather The many would not have been sure to do better SongtexteHer husband would hit her Beat her until she could not see the lever To pull up and sever From everything that she had come to know ever But she took my father and she took my unc' Fled the cape from that fucking punk Single mother working in them London hubs Never begged, hustled for that lunch Scrapped and scraping, never giving up She gave life to Dad who gave life to me Look what we've been on And you may not remember me Tomorrow when you wake up I'll just wait to see If you call for my name You may not remember me Tomorrow when you wake up I'll just wait to see If you call for my name If you call for my name They say my nan's got memory loss Body's working better than her mind When I call nowadays she barely talks Sometimes I think she really knows it's me But then her tone of voice will change And then she mumbles something only she Could understand and try to frame I was on long-distance, speaking through this pain Swore that she was calling out my name But when I asked her to repeat again She was riding on a truly different train I don't know When the mind's not connected, what perspective do we know? Is she trapped, cold, walking through the snow? Is she sittin' on a beach with every soul that she's ever known? Or is she all alone? I just can't really find out through the phone But my O says a visit won't be known So I sit and wonder if she's here or no? What a joke, this whole thing is simply blown I just pace back and forth, try to go Forward through the things I just can't control Huh, her body is here but her mind I can't find Huh, I just really wish that I could've gotten the time For giving that queen her proper reply We love you Valerie Ryan, goodbye And you may not remember me Tomorrow when you wake up I'll just wait to see If you call for my name You may not remember me Tomorrow when you wake up I'll just wait to see If you call for my name If you call for my name Aus Songtexte Mania
