The Umbilical Cord - Orbit Culture

Mother, can’t you see that I’m okay?

It hurts in my heart to see your eyes

Close that morning.

Different from all

You put me through life with patience

Now that it’s gone, there’s a hole in the dark

Inside of me now

I’m broken

This feeling’s alive

The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly

Mother, can you hear me from down here?

The wise do depart

With luggage from past

I’ll face the blackness

I’ll remember your way

Of fighting this world

I’ll stand my ground now

And before it all ends

I’ll graciously embrace

The fight you fought with me

I’m broken

This feeling’s alive

The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly

When there’s fear in your heart, don’t you dare cry

I’ll be watching, watching you

When your life tries to spark, don’t you let go

Don’t let your tears make this fire go out

With the fear of no shelter, you’ll build one yourself

With fear, you’ll make it through the night

When the tears fills your eyes, don’t let them know

First you rebuild your fortress

When there’s fear in your heart, don’t you dare cry

I’ll be watching, watching you

When your life tries to spark, don’t you let go

Don’t let your tears make this fire go out
