Mother Dearest

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, think I can't see
Exactly where you've been and where you'll go
No hope, this is your home
Why would you wanna leave me
You don't know all I did for you
So ungrateful

[Verse 1]
Where's Mother? I can feel her stare shudder
Under covers, stairs, cupboards, any place that is safe from her
Does she care? Love us? Would she dare snub us?
Double our despair, shun us, fighting with just bare knuckles
Shh, stay quiet as a mouse, won't survive her finding out
She's got eyes around the house, so don't cry, shut your mouth
We'rе devising how to bounce, take a chancе, even the tiniest around
And we might just get, wait, she's here, hide now

[Chorus 2]
Sleep tight, dull the candlelight
Tuck you in goodnight
Where's your spine, your bravery
Did it die when you couldn't get away from me
My children, run to my arms
Don't fight it
You don't know all I did for you
So ungrateful

[Verse 2]
Power, cower, memories that we all cherished
Now are sour forever grieve and weep for them
Count the hours, seconds turn to weeks and then
Our calendar has reached the end, times like this I need a friend
She's a monster with a gentle hand
No wretched fangs, but a condescending, calm, collected act
Have to make it, so no other fears this
Leaving the nest and we're abandoning you Mother Dearest

[Outro]
You don't know all I did for you
So ungrateful
So ungrateful
So ungrateful
