Stay Strong For Mom (feat. Gabriela Warren)

This hallway inferno has Been burning a twenty-four year flame I walk by your window A metaphor in vein We refuse to clean the ashes Under the fire you started You can't let loose the cord From yesterday's done and departed But I'll stay strong for mom I'll stay strong for mom Tell myself to stay strong for mom When our lies start cutting scars But I'll stay strong for mom I'll stay strong for mom Tell myself to stay strong for mom When our lives start falling apart Set the gauze back on the cut Wipe your hands clean of the blood It's the hand that held you in vein The burden of your DNA Now we're on the cusp of feeling Edging closer to the healing But we're trapped under a war Guilty of its killings But I'll stay strong for mom I'll stay strong for mom Tell myself to stay strong for mom When our lies start cutting scars Is there anyone at all Who puts the rivers in reverse Shoves the words back in their mouths Pumps the blood back in their skin Because our tears have all fallen Our bones have all been broken In the face of a thousand wrongs All I can do is Stay strong for mom I'll stay strong for mom Tell myself to stay strong for mom When our lives start falling apart Apart
