Mother
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.
Mother
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 make 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 overhead
Mother
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 breath
She gave us out first breath
Oh Mother
Mother
The thing you grow to hate
The love you won't forget
