Mothers

You will grow all you need to grow inside my spine

And then take what you need to take, what's yours is mine

And then just give all you want of it to some new thing

I'll stay here, the provider of that constant sting they call love

They call love

You will drain all you need to drain out of me

All the colors have washed away, no more rosy sheen

Not just a pale isolated shallow water place

Oh what a place I call myself

I call myself

Oh love all you need to love before it goes

When your face becomes a stranger's I don't know

You will never remember who I was to you

Carried in the womb

I'm called mother

I'm called mother

They're called home

They're called home

They're called

They're called

Mothers

Mothers

Give all you need to give

And sometimes they won't take what they need to take

The strangest chemical reaction

Inside of her brain, no she's not the same

No she's not the same

No she's not the same
