Sweet mother, kept me forever
Alone and safe in a room
Why would I ask for anything other?
Your world is all that I ever knew


Her hands pulling me closer
Her eyes all heavy and cold
Oh, oh, she said I keep you from danger
Oh, oh, I'm your careful protector

All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become

The last time, you tell me it simple
I keep it in the back of my mind
Oh, oh, she said now don't be a stranger
Oh, oh, just keep your head on your shoulders

All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become
