Oh Mother

I carry my burden

And still im breaking backs and building walls

And I know I\'m yearning

To get up off my knees

To feel the fall

 

I beg for reverence

I beg for silence

 

I’m rootless and hollow

And my demons run me straight into the ground

And I know you’ll follow

Until I drag us both

Down down

 

I beg for reverence

I beg for silence

 

Mother oh mother

Find me in the darkness

Take me to your daughters

 Brother oh brother

Carry my head

Above cold water

 

I beg for reverence

I beg for silence

I beg for reverence

I beg for silence
