She will never be free

Mama lies in bed all day, when she awakes, there goes a needle to her skin.
She needs to be on a constant high, everyone in town knows where shes been.
Ever since mama lost our baby brother, shes never been the same.
She will never take the blame.
She walks around, carrying the shame.

A knock comes on my door and it was a woman and a man.
They wore dark suits, they saw mama intoxicated, I started crying, then they took me by my hand.
I know mama can't take care of me anymore.
She's far to gone, I just can't stay here and watch her fall, like i have done before.

To many demons, she carries as the policemen lift her from the floor.
I disgracefully love her, but she can't live this way anymore.
I will never forgive mama, because she is giving up on us.
Why can't my love ever be enough.
She lost one baby, and now shes losing me.
Someday she will open her eyes and realize, she will never be free.
