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
