Lyrics
Mother (feat. The Turning)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm tired of being brave
Acting as if I'm sane
I play the part, but they tell me: Wait
These absinthe gods bearing my name
And if I die before I wake
Please pray for me to fly
My ash will rise amongst the flames
The sky screams out my name
Dream me back into my mother
Dream me back and start me over
Let me lead, you can follow
Into the body of an unborn child
If I die before I wake
Please pray for me to fly
My ash will rise amongst the flames
The sky screams out my name
I've got a secret or two that no eyes can see
When I get to heaven, save a seat for me
I've got a secret or two that no eyes can see
When I get to heaven, save a seat for me
I've got a secret or two that no eyes can see
When I get to heaven, save a seat for me
If I die before I wake
Please pray for me to fly
My ash will rise amongst the flames
The sky screams out my name
And if I die before I wake
Please pray for me to fly
My ash will rise amongst the flames
The sky screams out my name
And if I die before I wake
Please pray for me to fly
My ash will rise amongst the flame
The sky screams out my name
