[Verse]
The anger in her eyes burned like a sun
Took me to a place where the rules were undone
Capitalism outlawed dreams were free
The critic beneath my bed whispered to me
[Chorus]
Oh Mom
If the world rejected
Would you love the mess I perfected
Oh Mom
If the world said no
Would you cheer for the seeds I sow
[Verse 2]
Sometimes she stares like she’s painting the past
Wishing the moments weren’t built to outlast
I hear her sigh through the walls of time
She’s hoping my chaos will somehow rhyme
[Bridge]
The critic said I should run
Should flee
But I’m chained to a hope she’ll believe in me
Under the bed with monsters and dreams
The silence screams
The silence screams
[Chorus]
Oh Mom
If the world rejected
Would you love the mess I perfected
Oh Mom
If the world said no
Would you cheer for the seeds I sow
[Outro]
The anger fades but the shadows stay
Critic’s words dance in disarray
Oh Mom
If the world let me be
Would you find a way to be proud of me
