For Mom

Family vacation circa 2001
that's when all of this got started
that's when you stopped having fun

I couldn't love you more
than the things you hoard
I couldn't love you more than those things

I'm constantly fearful
of leaving you tearful

and nowadays you don't try
I think it's safe to say that we've cut ties
I think it's safe to say we don't see eye to eye

I couldn't love you more
than the things you hoard
I couldn't love you more than those things

I'm constantly fearful
of leaving you tearful
still I've never been to the Grand Canyon
forever climbing up a Blood Mountain
