Mother - Social Repose

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, and undiscovered

Away from the others, others

Painting over my marks

Cause your soul had died

In my dream last night

I wasn’t looking for a fight

Clean me up, and say goodnight

(Goodnight)

And the drugs they kick in

To numb your indecision

Let the years just sink 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, and undiscovered

Away from the others, others

Painting 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

Trying to recover, recover

Blur me out once again

Mother, Mother

Wish you didn’t even bother, bother

I have nothing left to offer, offer

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, and undiscovered

Away from the others, others

Painting over my face

Still birth

Tainted

A blind mess

I came in untouched
