To the mothers who aren't sleeping That are having trouble feeding Too afraid to say they're not okay No, not at all To the mothers who feel empty That aren't sure they're even ready To be alone and responsible For somebody so small To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too I've been there too To the mother that's at home Scrolling through her phone Watching everybody else Make family look easy To the mom with a career Who can't take off a whole year So she has to pay somebody else To take care of her baby To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too And one day you'll discover Going from a woman to a mother It might break you but it might save you To the mother in the mirror Who wishes she was thinner 'Cause now her body isn't Somebody that she knows And to the mothers just like me Who fell apart so suddenly I hope you realize You're not alone This one's for you This one's for you 'Cause I've been there too I've been there too (I love you, mom)

Oh, can you heal me Child I know you heal me Embrace the wind Hang your head no more I feel like I'm falling Like never before Now open the sky And let me in Cause I want to feel Feel the rain on my my skin I want a heaven A heaven of our own All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone I held you to me And felt my eyes grow dim Took your hand And felt the warmth from within Unchain the storm Then lose the way Now paint the dark A dew of silver grey I want a heaven A heaven of our own All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone Heaven, oh All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone Can you heal me Child I know you can heal me Reach and take the knife from the water now Can you heal me Child I know you can heal me Reach and touch what I'm feeling Cry for me now

Throw me in the landfill Don't think about the consequences Throw me in the dirt pit Don't think about the choices that you make Throw me in the water Don't think about the splash I will create Leave me at the altar Knowing all the things you just escaped Push me out to sea On a little boat that you made out Of the evergreen That you helped your father cut away Leave me on the tracks To wait until the morning train arrives Don't you dare look back Walk away, catch up with the sunrise 'Cause this is torturous Electricity between both of us And this is dangerous 'Cause I want you so much But I hate your guts, I hate you So leave me in the cold Wait until the snow covers me up So I cannot move So I'm just embedded in the frost And leave me in the rain Wait until my clothes cling to my frame Wipe away your tear stains Thought you said you didn't feel pain Well, this is torturous Electricity between both of us And this is dangerous 'Cause I want you so much But I hate your guts I want you so much But I hate your guts Well, this is torturous Electricity between both of us And this is dangerous 'Cause I want you so much But I hate your guts I want you so much But I hate your guts

I am wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him, but we're not right In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator I should go now, quietly Before my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree That I'm a suffocator Suffocator, suffocator Oh, love I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside My mother Never to come out

And they're making children And they're making love With their old excuses We are built for reproduction But I find it soothing When I am confined I'm just fearing one day soon I'll lose my mind Then I'll lose my children Then I'll lose my love Then I'll sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Float across the room Whisper into one ear Out the other one Then I'll take my clothes off And I'll walk around Because it's so nice outside And I like the way the sun feels And when it's dark I'll call out in the night for my mother But she isn't coming back for me 'Cause she's already gone But you will not tell me that 'Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you know you're doing the right thing You must know you're doing the right thing I have lost my children I have lost my love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions And they're making children Everyone's in love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak
