a mother's mercy against your neck
it sprawled you out on the kitchen steps
when you spoke fondly i had no choice
there's something godly about your voice
well do you ever see yourself
getting out from under
all of those petals that you tore
from every love you ever wore?
and i can't stand to be there
but i can't seem to run
i just wanted you to know i was no one
your wandering eyes
they made you look
and it bent you up like a shepherd's crook
what got you into that iron vault
could not get you out
was that your fault?
well do you ever see yourself
running out of anger?
well if you don't i guess you don't
but you won't even let it show
and i can't see the future
but i can't seem to run
i just wanted you to know i was no one
and i can't bear to see you
all lit up in the sun
i just wanted to believe i was no one
