Mother Song

I've tried to run

Attempted calming down

From tantrums

Under my bed

My closets, shadows, head

It will be fed

Pull me back from life

Give me glimpse of something else

Fear please be mine

Tending to your cries

Can I just be or be by myself

With you on my mind

I'll breathe

When you're gone

I can't breathe

I've got you in my lung

Let the bad dreams come and take my place

Let my spirit shake

Given in this time

To the corner of my eye

Obsessive and fried

Shivering inside

Let this sleeping dog lie

It's my grand design

Everyday I'm waking up too early and going to sleep too late

Is she safe

I can't think I've got her hands over my face

Go away

You're the only reason that I've got to pray

And they don't work

Like they used to

Try to get the words out

Ask for help

I know you can't

Feed her all the self doubt

Let her bite from shaking hands

She's got appetite

After all you're just a man

And you're gonna

Choke boy

Choke boy

Let the bad dreams come and take my place

Let my spirit shake

Let me know what fear truly is

Let it all attempt

To make me better

I know

I'm gonna

Feel it all

As long as

I've got my fear, she's got her mother

For her

I'll try

To be

Str-strong

Be brave

Fear, you and me hide under covers

And when I find myself scared

Or I realize I'm all alone

And if I'm waiting on gray hairs

Then I feel you and you haven't gone

So I think of what's next

Whether it's dark or faintly dawn

I will sing her my mother song

Mother song

Mother

Oh oh oh oh
