Mother's Ruin

We make them in our heads
inflated blurry slides
held up, how we thought we looked inside

A generated light
A Reverend holds his pipe
when freedom finds her, they'll start screaming

Different ways to break your Mother's heart
with that in mind we've made it easy
To alter all the thinking from the start
As Blake once said we're breaking even

Back to work, back to work, we were out in the cold
In our coats with our hands held tightly
You'll return, you'll return here to volley the calls
It's a long way down

Repeat this quietly

A shaft of orange light
casts it into doubt
Fledgling ratings impossible

Calibrating tales
the burning of the bale
Watch the shale fall freely under foot

Different ways to break your Mother's heart
with that in mind we've made it easy
To alter all the thinking from the start
As Blake once said we're breaking even

Back to work, back to work, we were out in the cold
In our coats with our hands held tightly
You'll return, you'll return here to volley the calls
It's a long way down

Repeat this quietly

This light from above
Is nothing more
than the failing light
hanging from the wall

Different ways to break your Mother's heart
with that in mind we've made it easy
To alter all the thinking from the start
As Blake once said we're breaking even

Back to work, back to work, we were out in the cold
In our coats with our hands held tightly
You'll return, you'll return here to volley the calls
It's a long way down

Repeat this quietly
