Fight or flight!
Emotions I don't know about
Escaped my world
The one that fate paved out for me
Guilt for leaving Mother
But her ways I can't defend
She vested herself in him
For her life I would descend
Where's he now?
With what I see, the safety of my family
It was but Mother and me
Starved of a paternity
And all I ever wanted
Was a woman by my side
I think I've finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me
Patiently, I visit home of yesteryears
The fragile devout lady
And her two-bit mountain sanctuary
To sate my growing hunger
To a**ure her I'm still there
With what I see, she doesn't even care
With what I see, the safety of my family
It was but Mother and me
Starved of a paternity
And all I ever wanted
Was a woman by my side
I think I've finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me
"Awake, quiet now, don't scream
Put your flowers in her bedpan
The sheets smell, don't they?
The house smells, your old house
Clean it, it's not her you smell
It's not her last breath you breathe
Quiet now..."
With what I see, the safety of my family
It was but Mother and me
Starved of a paternity
And all I ever wanted
Was a woman by my side
I think I've finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me
