Mother

(album: Empress - 2017)

Mother, mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter, out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, mother
Place me under your cover, undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Paint over my marks
[x2]

Cause your soul had died
In my dream last night
I wasn't looking for a fight
Clean me up and say goodnight, say goodnight
I want the drugs to kick in
To numb your indecision
Let your years just sinks in
Fade away say goodnight, goodbye

Mother, mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter, out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, mother
Place me under your cover, undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Paint over my marks

Expectations
Overwhelming
My motivation
Has run dry
I've destroyed most things I've touched
Doesn't mean you didn't love me that much
I saw you clutch your filthy hands
When you said goodnight, said goodnight, goodbye

Mother, mother
I'm looking more like my father, father
Everyday try to recover, cover
Blur me out once again
Mother, mother
I wish you didn't even bother, bother
I got nothing left to offer, offer
I could have been a better son

Mother, mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter, out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, mother
Place me under your cover, undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Paint over my marks

Still birth
Tainted
A blind mess
I came in untouched
