Motherless Land

(album: Divides - 2016)

We were riding out to meet the Sun,
We were shaking from the things we've done,
We were breaking every pattern,
Straying from the map,
To make a new life on the run.

We were sick of life behind a lens,
With it stripped of all its innocence.
Watch the hands above the puppets make another war
For the benefit of their own ends.

Motherless land, a couple pills in my hand,
That take me out of my mind.
A couple we stand,
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of my minds.
[x2]

So we grew up with a fear of God,
Made guilty of the things we're not.
We were lost in vicious circles,
Looking for a key,
Another door, another lock.

And the Sun was dancing on the lake,
There was only so much we could take.
So we left it all to happen,
Left it all to chance,
With a passion that they could not shake.

Motherless land, a couple pills in my hand,
That take me out of my mind.
A couple we stand,
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of my minds.

Oh, take me out of mind [x2]
Take me out of my mind [x2]
Out of my mind,
Yeah.

We've assassinated pacifists,
As the peace was something to resist.
With the history repeated one day to the next,
Another thousand on the list.

So what are we without the fear?
And what are we without the shame?
And what are we when all is clear?
What are we without a name?

Motherless land, a couple pills in my hand,
That take me out of my mind.
A couple we stand,
A couple pills in our hands
To take us out of my minds.

Oh, take me out of mind [x2]
Take me out of my mind [x3]
Out of my mind.
