20​.​12​.​23. Mother

lyrics

Looking down on you
Little bird trying to fly
Wanting to help you
But I have to let you die

It's sad I know, but it's the way
Forgive me, oh please, you have to see
It's not me, it's you who has to save
The weak things in life that cannot be
A scapegoat for all you selfish fools
Blaming your maker for your own mess
Pointing your fingers and making rules
Why you do not have to admit or confess
You are the problem and I am ashamed
Don't call me your mother

Oceans full of tears
Hopeful clouds - what might have been
Sand once brimming with warmth
Now frozen cold

You had your fun; your playing war
Squandered the gifts I left you all
You killed each other and even more
Destroyed your home; still standing tall
Oh, please stop your onslaught on what remains
Your siblings are helpless, have a heart
Just look around you it is insane
She's broken and bruised and falling apart
You killed your maker, her children too
Don't call her your mother
