I'm gonna let some space and time go by, but when I do email my Stepmom I'm gonna say exactly what you suggested.
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
