Mother
there is no other
Who can bring me peace
Slivers of solace or sweet release
Will you tuck me in?
Will you forgive my sins?
Mother
Do you love me less than my brother?
I know I fell far
Away from your light and into tar
Hold me to your breast
Let me confess then tell me
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Mother knows
Let the wicked rest
Because Mother knows best
Mother
Will you huddle, will you hover
Over me forever?
Will you write out my endeavors?
Will you keep me warm?
Will you keep in the storm?
Mother
Will you cast out all lovers?
Chase away the light?
Will you drown out my thirst to fight?
Hold me to your breast
Tell me I’m your most cherished pest
Let me rot, let me wallow
Will you save me from tomorrow?
Let me melt into your milk
Keep me small, keep me hollow
Will you save me from tomorrow?
Tell me I’m your pest
Tell me Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Mother knows
All along, I’ve been trying
To be a part of you
To be rid of you
All these songs about dying
Sung for you
Let me crawl to my doom
Let me die in your womb
Dead in the ground
Transcend your past
Dead in the ground
