Mattie’s Lament Original Off-Broadway Cast of We Are The Tigers (Ft. Cathy Ang)

[MATTIE]
Dear Mom and Dad
Things are fine here
And by fine I mean, well
I'm not shivved so that's something
Statistically so many people die each day
That that I'm not one of them's something to celebrate
It's the little things
The very little things
Things that seem so insignificant you might forget
Til those little things are the only things left
And you don't mope
Like there's no hope
Like the world's come crumbling down
You're one forced muscle twitch from turning up that frown

I have friends here
And by friends I mean convicts who murdered their families
And yet who I somehow trust more
Than I can these girls
Who called me their friend
Then threw me under a bus and left me for dead
But it's the little things
The very little things
It's those things you don't think would occur in your life
But some girl named Tasha just made me her wife
