The Umbilical Cord

Mother, can't you see that I'm okay?

It hurts in my heart

To see your eyes close that morning

Different from all

You put me through life with patience

Now that it's gone

There's a hole in the dark, inside of me now

I am broken

This feeling's alive

The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly

♪

Mother, can you hear me from down here?

The wise do depart

With luggage from past I'll face the blackness

I'll remember your way

Of fighting this world, I'll stand my ground now

Before it all ends

I'll graciously embrace the fight you fought with me

I am broken

This feeling's alive

The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly

♪

When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry

I'll be watching, watching you

When your life tries to spark, don't you let go

Don't let your tears make this fire go out

♪

With the fear of no shelter, you'll build one yourself

With fear, you'll make it through the night

When the tears fills your eyes, don't let them know

First you rebuild your fortress

♪

When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry

I'll be watching, watching you

When your life tries to spark, don't you let go

Don't let your tears make this fire go out
