Sweat is reminder that I am strong
Blood is the reminder that you are weak

Come back in, mother loves you beyond your sin
You haven't healed from hate or the pain
You've just forgotten how to love

Life can press a inconceivable mark on your face
Life can lift you to a unknown place
Life will keep you occupied for your own good

For you I fear
Once in the hole
Always climbing out

 

I wonder where it goes
I wonder where I went
I wonder how I fade
I wonder how I sent
I give you all my Life
You take it
You break it
You want to be my wife

Too sick to swallow
Too thick to follow

These trees are burnt but the limbs still snag
Piles and Trials
of burning ash

What did you ever want?
To capture me and keep me down?
You wanted love, I hear
You give me none, my dear
You don't know what love is, I fear

If anything, you are due credit
like a baby reaching for the stars
you don't know...
