about

a song for our rogue mom.

lyrics

you’ve all seen my hands and told me you’re sorry
you’ve seen my smile and you screamed
i’ve cut my teeth on buttons and secrets
so i’ll cover my mouth and drink ‘til i forget to breathe

you know me now
this body i’m in
i wish i knew how
to shed this poison skin
i am a thief, i am a liar
i found a friend after the fire
now i can hide
you’ll offer protection
so i’ll stay until i find
the way to my resurrection

you’re covered in dirt, and i hate the water
we both know it hurts to be seen
now you know that i’ve drowned
in this river and a sea of angry faces
you’ve shown me your shame
now i need you to help me wash mine clean

'cause you know me now
you didn’t know me then
you say you love me now
but you don’t remember when
i was a wife, i was a mother
i was alive
now i’m a monster
i’d do it again for my son and lover
and i’ll find my way to them
on the day of my resurrection

you all know my name
well, both that i’ve told you
you tell me i’m brave, when before i was not(t)
it’s been a long time since i’ve had a family
and now i have two to take care of
to remind me when i have forgot

that you know me now
and still you call me a friend
you made me a vow
and you’ll keep it ‘til my end
then in the clay we find an answer
i was a drunk, i was a monster
now again i’m a wife
again i’m a mother
and i feel myself again
(i will feel myself again)
(I will find myself again)
