Lyrics Mother - Lotus Eater

Mother

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
