Mother - Lotus Eater

Why can’t I

Make them see what’s in me?

A stare as cold as ice

Frozen bodies all around me

It’s in the air

Disapproval and despair

Give me your time

I’ll show you what’s there

I’ll show you what’s there

Mother

Can’t you see

It’s all on me

Please believe

Take my word for what’s right

I know it’s hard for you

But it’ll see me through

The colder it gets the more I long for your embrace

The voice that heals all wounds

The woman from which I grew

Not

Whole

Cross me out

Black lines that show no doubt

Straight and narrow

I wish I learned, less sorrow

You were right

To stay one with the light

Sixteen years I waited

For leniency

(Take a look at me)

(Take a look at me)

(Take a look at me)

(Take a look at me)

Inside my brain

Is where your words decay
