To the lips of a failed writer To crash a cup of wine
To throw a toast to an islan that's slowly sinking
I can almost hear you
Hear you crying
Momma you are killing yourself Momma what can I do?
And I'll be the one putting pins into my fingertips Only to erase the memories And to laugh when I think what my father did She sits She waits She toasts her prayers Not speaks of them Momma you are killing yourself Momma what can I do? She sits She waits
