Mama Taught Me Better

Can you scream the words I could never hear

Can you feel the silence begin to tear

But it just takes so much to make it real that it hardly matters

And if you could see inside yourself your world would shatter

My mama taught me better than that

Don't play with angels

If my lost soul could be given back

It would be fatal

Can you see a world you have never felt

When you sleep the nightmare becomes yourself

But it just takes so much to make you sick when your heart's a bullet

But if you could fill some lead in me you would pass through it

My mama taught me better than that

Don't play with angels

If my lost soul could be given back

It would be fatal

Your soul keeps lifting away

My world keeps turning

It brings me down

It brings me down

Oh you're so afflicted

Your love keeps burning

It brings me down

It brings me down

Can you scream the words I could never hear

When you speak the silence begins to tear

But it just takes so much to make you sick when your heart's a bullet

But if you could reach the edge in me you won't break through it

My mama taught me better than that

Don't play with angels

If my lost soul could be given back

It would be fatal
