lyrics

A cemetery where we buried all those seeds you left behind
Never would have guessed all the blessed things
I wrested from that thorn left nestled in my side
Still every step I take away from here
Just seems like a betrayal
So I sing this guilty little song for you
Just a lame hallelujah

But I keep my eyes wide open all the time
Even memory don’t last forever
Mother, are you listening?
Triumphantly reply to me
This way forward
Mother, can you hear me?

When I sink slowly to the floor
As I soak through

Bright and early for the day’s race
to separate my thighs
Cut the cake, cut a line, cut the wire
Cut the ribbon as I cross the finish line
Singing which side are you on, boy?
Which side are you on?
Say it doesn’t matter
But it does

So I keep my guard wide open all the time
Even memory don’t last forever
Mother, are you listening?
Triumphantly reply to me
This way forward
Mother, can you hear me?

When I sink slowly to the floor
As I soak through

When I say no way, you say forward
No way forward, No way forward

I say no way, you say forward
