Lyrics Oh, Gloria - The Sleeping

Oh, Gloria

Mother’s love, cornered and shaking up
The sun, bright on such a violent day
See the blood on the shattered dinner plates
Six years old, frozen still
I couldn’t watch your rolling eyes escape
I could never be this brave without your face
Oh, I owe you everything
Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything
Oh, I owe you everything
Devil’s hands, wrapped tight around your neck
My feet kicking in defensive ways
Yeah, I can still envision blood on the shattered dinner plates
You sprung up… had enough
A second wind until the sirens came
I would never be this brave without your face
Oh, I owe you everything
Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything
Oh, I owe you everything
Yeah, I could never be this brave without your face
Oh, I owe you everything
Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything
Oh, I owe you everything
