Unlearning

We don't talk cause we're both hurting
You from believing and me from unlearning
Everything you taught me
It's sad you don't know your daughter anymore,
I wish I understood these things you gave me up for
Gave me up for

Cause you think that I think you're stupid
But you heard that from your fox news, not me
And I'm sorry I get frustrated
its just hard to watch you leave reality
Reality without your baby

Now we don't talk cause we're both hurting
You from believing and me from unlearning
Everything you taught me
About cheering on the underdog and being kind
It was all a front mom
It was all a fucking lie
All a lie

Cause what you care about is niceness
But caring doesn't look like politeness every time
You always said love thy neighbor
But you can't be bothered when your neighbor's human rights
Or fucking lives are on the line

And now we don't talk cause we're both hurting
You from believing and me from unlearning
Everything you taught me
Its sad you don't know your daughters anymore,
I wish you understood these things you gave us up for
Gave us up for

For 30 years people have hurt you
And made you think factless-faith
Is the only way to say I love you
Now I'm up till 3am on Parler
Trying to see what took you further
From me this week

Oh mom
I want to believe you changed
that you haven't always been this way
But that's probably my naivete

And you
And you've always thought these things
They are just things you wouldn't outright say
Till a charismatic leader made the way

And mom
I still want good things for you
It just something i can't make you do
I'll help you leave cult americana
I gotta wait until you wanna tho
