Who would've known? 
    To the lips of a failed writer 
 To crash a cup of wine 
 To throw a toast to an island 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
