I remember back before I heard about them ovaries And eggs be droppin' down so often I 'd be askin' over easy Pullin' out my checkbook an' lookin' for a better reason T'swallow up that medicine or flush it out like spring season Every other mother in this place knows that we can't hack it Couple days later in my room wishing we had jacked it Comin' through with colors flying I could have just dawned the plastic Pill was too expensive, it's looking like we have to have it Diein' down beneath all that cloth and that rolled up fabric Family too important to admit that we've established Fertile territory with this pre-existent being Man, crying out loud why can't they see what we see Zero income ain't a way to form a family But we still tried To do what's right Yeah we did our best But that's when you flushed out Impossibly set, impeccably primed The day your father saw my face, he audibly wined And I never thought I'd be the type of guy to think of running Up until I saw his eyes and then I knew that I'd be gunning For any open exit though they all seem to be shutting So I closed my eyes, and I ran for good cover But I couldn't find any, so I headed for my mother And she said to me I cannot help you son I've got 99 problems, but y'all ain't one Those who mind don't matter Those who matter do not mind This baby ain't about you Put it first and you'll be fine No Mom what are you stupid; I've got no money How am I supposed to feed it, how am I gonna get it honey That doesn't matter child, just be there for it But Mom I do not think that I can care for it This baby shouldn't just live, it needs to thrive Yet under my protection, I'm not sure it'll survive But we still tried To do what's right Yeah we did our best But that's when you flushed out Eggshells, eggshells, why do they fall I've got my basket out, but I don't think I'll catch them all They splatter to the ground, night night darling After a couple months this all feels so alarming Where do they go, and what do we do I've lost all my hope; got me feeling so recluse Going out of my mind, yeah I'm looking like a zombie I can't sleep at nights, there's no way you'll survive me I pack my own bags, I should probably hit the road I've got my jacket on you used to wear when you were cold It's all over now, so I'm acting pretty desperate Writing this down, I hope I don't seem reckless And stupid, yeah I'll admit it I'm a dummy You're the one that's hurting worse, ain't that fricken funny How I put my needs above your own And made you feel so alone Thinking back now, I was really being selfish You deserved better, my whole life I've been a flight risk Analyzing the probability of downfall And our miscarriage made me think our ship was done for Yeah now I'm falling down the rabbit hole 'Cept every time I think of you I drop another 6 feet more But we still tried To do what's right Yeah we did our best But that's when you flushed out
