Motherland Lyrics

I've never known you for what you are

I thought I wouldn't recognise you

After all this time

We grew apart

I guess it's me that changed

It sickens me to know

That you have stayed the same

Deteriorate

Why are you like this?

Were you always like this?

Now I see you for what you are

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

But I can't resist to come back to you

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

And I hate myself

Because I want to be with you

If I had stayed with you

You would have stifled me

An overbearing parent

That corrodes their child

And when I disobey you

You're always out to get me

So far away and you still punish me

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

But I can't resist to come back to you

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

How can I forgive you after all you've done?

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

I've tried so hard to let you go

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

And I hate myself

I still want to be with you

Mother

You were supposed to protect me

But all you did is neglect me

Pushed me away from your arms

To other lands

Mother

You never showed any mercy

The tears on my face burn me

You've always murdered your children

Now's my turn

No more moments of silence in my head

No divine intervention to save you from me

Guilt and grief turn to anger, a hurricane

I just want to destroy you and set me free

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

You're still pretending that nothing's wrong

I hate to love you

I love to hate you

You'll never change and now I know

Fooled me once

Shame on you

Fooled me twice

You're dead to me

You're dead to me

You're dead to me

I'll never forgive you

You're dead to me
