Oh, Mother
They might bury me tonight
This mortal strain, it hangs so loosely
Fragile
The thinnest veil of reality
We define existence in irrational context
From our narrow position
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother, I'm just about to break
We know we're sane until we're not
Can't trust your eyes when they're projecting
Nightmares
I've climbed the mountains of insanity
To erect cathedrals to perpetual silence
Of this chronic addiction
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother
I'm just about to lose myself in here
I've lost my grip, but feel no pain
I have no fear
Oh, mother, I've dug my own grave
I wrote the words to this lullaby
With eyes wide open
They sing so softly every single time
None of you see this
None of you feel this pain
This overbearing pain
Damn your saviors
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother
I'm just about to lose myself in here
I've lost my grip, but feel no pain
I have no fear
Oh, mother, I've dug my own grave
This mortal strain, it hangs so loosely
Fragile
The thinnest veil of reality
We define existence in irrational context
From our narrow position
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother, I'm just about to break
We know we're sane until we're not
Can't trust your eyes when they're projecting
Nightmares
I've climbed the mountains of insanity
To erect cathedrals to perpetual silence
Of this chronic addiction
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother
I'm just about to lose myself in here
I've lost my grip, but feel no pain
I have no fear
Oh, mother, I've dug my own grave
I wrote the words to this lullaby
With eyes wide open
They sing so softly every single time
None of you see this
None of you feel this pain
This overbearing pain
Damn your saviors
They'll throw me away
If they know the reason I'm so divided
Am I awake?
Oh, mother
I'm just about to lose myself in here
I've lost my grip, but feel no pain
I have no fear
Oh, mother, I've dug my own grave
