Lyrics Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez

Birthing Addicts

Pupils begin to observe

Watching the waste on this earth

Mamas don't love their kids like they used to

Letting them smoke their herbs

Nails bitten down to the nub

Palms out as far as they run

Soup never reaches its boil

Dinner ain't the only thing they spoil

Let the maggots and worms infest your brain

Got your memory all fall, times begins

Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins

And I, will claim that I love you

And I am the one who birthed you

Skin tearin' down to the bone

Freckles fall off as they're told

You realize soon your identity changes

No longer the person you were

No longer the person they adore

Let the maggots and worms infest your brain

Got your memory all fall, times begins

Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins

And I, will claim that I love you

And I am the one who birthed you

Thank you mama

For all you've done

Gave me cancer

And thick black lungs

Left me rotting

On the street

Rather shoot up

Than have food to eat

Let the maggots and worms infest your brain

Got your memory of all timers begins

Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins

And I, will claim that I love you

And I am the one who birthed you

And I am the one who birthed you

Mamas don't love their kids like they used to

Letting them smoke their herbs
