lyrics

your moon-splashed visions
your meteor mind
the desolate freedom of your skeleton sky
has fooled your heart into believing lies
that stitched your face
to that social disguise of claims

could it be now, mama, all that we have loved
we've loved in vain?
your truth, your forbidden fruit,
takes shape now in the sound of my name
perhaps it's the vault of my past mistakes
the puts the fault on what you say
but we must watch now how we talk
for the words we choose, honey,
they cannot return to the mouths
from which they came

your grieving black-out wish
for a better life than i can give
has tricked your eyes into seeing this
from the hype of your emotions
but not how it actually is

could it be now, mama, all that we have tried
we tried in vain?
our frail, unrepenting veil of matchsticks
that cannot lift a single flame
perhaps it's the fate of the feather or stone
that better decides the heavier fall
but we both know it won't be long
before the walls we built have returned to dust
and unto the ground
from where they came

your dark-drenched toxic
mouth of flowers
has shed the words
that bloomed these hours
and covered your ears from hearing any sound
that might reveal confrontation with yourself

could it be now, mama, all that we have worked for
we worked in vain?
if the end was to be this way
regardless of the wisdom we may have gained
perhaps it was meaning we never obtained
that had us become these criminals of shame
for wherever we walk, despite time or place,
the facts- they still remain the same:
you can hear me rattle
my cuffs and chains

your twisted reasons
your crooked cry
the melting minutes that tell your time
has confused your perception of what is right
to the point of refusing
even the best of advice

could it be now, mama, all that we have touched
we touched in vain?
our haze of polluted joy that clouds your hope
for the day that things might change
perhaps it's the ghost that still remains
of who you were before who you became
that haunts my heart into believing
all that has been lost could come back our way
and things could somehow
be the same.
