Elegy |
| Who is this hurting mother? |
| Don’t want to be her now |
| Who in the hell’s that sad reflection? |
| How did I lose myself? |
| How many times I walk the river, wondering what life’s for |
| Sobbing beneath the staid performance |
| Too scared to let it out |
| Duty calls… duty calls… |
| Who is this hurting daughter |
| Going down the rabbit hole? |
| Falling into a crushing darkness |
| Shedding skins of the soul |
| How many times I walk the river, wanting to lose myself? |
| Weight of an overcoat of sorrow |
| Too sensitive for this world |
| Duty call… duty calls… |
| Time to do the drop off, time to make the meals |
| Time to greet the neighbors, be a perfect ten |
| Smiling in the exterior, but nervous and distressed |
| Plodding on this treadmill, take another pill |
| Start another morning, wake to the alarm |
| Rise up in the darkness, get inside the car |
| Join the rank and file, thousands in the flow |
| Minnows on the freeway, on and on it goes… |
| I don’t want to go |
| I don’t want to live this |
| I don’t want this life |
| There is more than this |
| Who is that serious child |
| The one left alone? |
| Mother is in the kitchen crying again |
| No use to ask for help |
| So it goes… so it goes… |
