Motherless Lyrics by Volatile Ways

Perfect Dark

0

How can you raise me when you're holding me down?
Stunt my growth, force me into the ground
Nature versus nurture, well, I've never seen either
Locked away, left abandoned to wither

I wish you loved me like you loved to use
I had to learn to love the abuse
I never felt good enough for you
You weren't enough for yourself

Motherless
I wish you never birthed me
I wish you never hurt me
Motherless
You were supposed to love me
I wish I could have been motherless

A living image of transgression
All along, your own projection
You lost me and you still can't tell
Stuck forever in your living Hell

Every day, I reap and sow
Over the words I was never told
Bore a child who was left to grow
This dead soil has no life to show

Motherless
I wish you never birthed me
I wish you never hurt me
Motherless
You were supposed to love me
I wish I could have been motherless

A perfect life not what it seems
Molly coddled and manipulated
The favoured, the strong, your number one
No one knows the true hurt you caused

My haunted mind
How could I know what is wrong or right?
You cursed my life
But I wish I'd never seen the light

I wish I'd never seen the light

Motherless
I wish you never birthed me
I wish you never hurt me
Motherless
You were supposed to love me
I wish I could have been motherless
Motherless
Motherless
I never wanted you
You never wanted me
I knew I should have been motherless

You dragged me into your own Hell
I had to watch you burn
Left alone to blame myself
And rot forever in this lifeless shell

Left alone, motherless
Left alone, motherless
