Mother / Oh Mein Papa

The word you learn to love the disapproval that you hate that’s mother from
mother
They teach you to respect… makes you always want to please mother mother
The one who keeps you warm the one who keeps you warm and shelters you from
harm and shelters you from harm watch out she’ll stunt your mind she’ll open up your mind 'til you emulate her kind to You good and make you kind is that mother?
mother
Downstairs i don’t know downstairs i don’t know if it’s the springs in her bed
why i feel safe in my bed or her joints i hear when i know i’m alone creaking
overhead she must be watching overhea
Her mother
She’ll twist the words you speak she’ll kiss and say goodbye if she thinks
you’re near escape if you want to go away mother mother
So she clutches at her brood so she gathers up her brood and sits across its
face and smiles into their face she sucks up all its energy she beams down
vital energy and smothers their last breat
Gave us out first breath oh mother mother
The thing you grow to hate the love you won’t forget
