Now you're in the mirror. Sketched over me My curve of my smile And the cut of my teeth Gave me a mouth back. With heat in my blood. Courage to carry it I hope you gave me enough. I learned from my mother Her heart is shattered but wide After all that shes been through She keeps yourself open To peace in your life
She gave me her guts And the red in my hair The song spilling off my tongue Leaving me everywhere A framed family portrait Kids crouched in front They laugh loose and easy. Faces open with love That's what we got now That's what's keeping us young Fighting off gravity Before it takes everyone
