Oh, Mother Lyrics

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
