Loud Mom Songtext / Lyric

Pretty, young single mother

Buddy and bean

Loving, yes... the brady bunch, not quite

We would fight

Well, they would

I would keep it inside

Some of the time

Peacemaker

Proud

Pleading

"don't get too loud, mom

Just sing quietly to me..."



Even when she was screaming

I'd know when we got home

Like a deaf man laughs, like a blind man smiles

She would sing to me

And show me her heart

Beautiful and strong, she's my mom






Angering, desperate stranger

Proud young man

Which of the two depended on whose eyes

I was right, i was so sure

I was so doing just fine

"then why lie?"

No answer

She kept asking

"don't ask so loud, mom

Just sing quietly to me"



Even when i was greedy

Bleeding myself, holding hurt

Like a deaf man laughs, like a blind man smiles

She would sing to me

Showed me my heart

Beautiful and strong, she's my mom

And she's loud



Iaman, a boy with brass hair and stone eyes

Arms small but strong

From holding back

Holding up

Holding on too long

Alone in my room

My nightlight shines on my idea

My thoughts cover up my ears



But sometimes a memory just gets too loud

Sometimes i wish i had a dad around

I wish that he were here to see my tears, but...

Sometimes the greatest ideas come from fears

And she's here

And the way that she sees me

Better than my eyes sometimes

Like a deaf man laughs, like a blind man smiles

She still sings to me

Shows me her heart

Beautiful and strong, she's my mom
