Motherly Verses Lyrics

Just because you forgot that doesn't mean that I forgot

I want my doubt on record

I want it stamped and sealed and underlined

At least a hundred times

I want our names on paper

A contract guaranteeing me my life

If this is every night

Just because you forgot that doesn't mean that I forgot

I lose myself in motherly verses

Which, stained in time by our fatherly fears

Become the blade that I use to grind

And find some flesh to hide behind

Momentary verses find me

Breathless, wordless, out of time

In permanence, an hourglass

I stare through

As I wait for my lost light

Expressionless and silent beasts are

Circling in sunless seas

Searching for an offering

They're always waiting

They wait and they wait and they wait and wait

Angels of madness are

Trumpeting sermons of death

And despite our protests

They found solace in the spaces

Beneath our beds

And what's done is done

Just because you forgot that doesn't mean that we forgot

Angels of madness are trumpeting sermons of death
