[Verse 1]
Two girls, two shadows, in a house that ain't a home,
Momma's gone ghost, chasing highs, left us alone.
Cigarette burns on the couch where dreams should’ve grown,
Her love traded for a needle, a heart turned to stone.
Empty cabinets, hunger gnawed, we made a pact,
Swore we'd hold each other tight, never look back.
But the past got claws, it drags and it attacks,
Her demons birthed ours, now we carry her cracks.
[Chorus]
We run, we run, but the pain stays the same,
Her choices carved scars, etched deep in our name.
Shattered roots, broken truth, caught in her flame,
She chose the drugs, now we bear the blame.
[Verse 2]
Sister's hands tremble, trying to braid her own hair,
She says, "Do you think she even remembers we were there?"
Tears hit the floor like beats in the air,
Momma's love was a ghost, vanished, unfair.
We grew up fast, no choice in the matter,
Built walls around the pain, but the cracks still shatter.
Her absence a weight, memories tattered,
Two sisters, one war, fighting wounds that scatter.
[Pre-Chorus]
Late nights, her voice still haunts in my head,
Echoes of promises, all lies she fed.
A love that killed instead of nourished and bred,
We’re her daughters, but she left us for dead.
