mother

The moon knows something I don't
Each time I run she glues her fingertips 'round my throat
And commands me to
Tell the truth
The moon speaks language I won't
Embers 'round my tongue from flames too cold to swallow
Still she demands me to
Burn with you

I think someone's out to get me
Someone wants me dead
(In my bed)
I said someone's out to get me
Someone's in my head
(That I've shed)

The trees know something I don't
Each time I flee they repossess the air from my throat
While they tell me to
Inhale through you
The tender wind beneath the leaves sing melodies I won't
Collecting debts and treasure chests of bets that I owe
And blackmail me to
Tell the truth

I think Mother's out to get me
Mother wants me dead
Mother keeps images of the beasts in my bed
I know Mother's out to get me
Mother's in my head
Mother floods images of the blood that I've shed
That I've shed
That I've shed
That I've shed

I'm from a town where
The hidden lie
A town where
The children die
A town where
The villains cry
On mountainsides
With fountain eyes
A town where
The hidden lie
A town where
The children die
A town where
The villains cry
On mountainsides

A town where
The hidden lie
A town where
The children die
A town where
The villains cry
On mountainsides
With fountain eyes
A town where
The hidden lie
A town where
The children die
A town where
The villains cry
On mountainsides

Mother's out to get me
Mother's in my head
I said Mother's out to get me
Mother wants me dead
