Mother - Tallies

My mother taught me to ask questions

She said, «That boyfriend will not do»

I talked yet I still never listened

Somehow she always still rings true

I counted the days until my birthday

Some cosmic adventures will ensue

I drove my mom along the highways

Down roads, we never changed the tune

She said leave your past tomorrow

And don’t leave those skulls to dry

Don’t fill your holes with sorrow

'Cause you’ll never be left alive

Bend those rules, they’re so thin

And I’m talking to the window

It’s not safe, it’s not safe

Just don’t lean on me tomorrow

I question what’s between the trees

I feel the earth beneath the greens

I wonder what’s between the oceans

The ones, she points them out to me

She said leave your past tomorrow

And don’t leave those skulls to dry

Don’t fill your holes with sorrow

'Cause you’ll never be left alive

Bend those rules, they’re so thin

And I’m talking to the window

It’s not safe, it’s not safe

Just don’t lean on me tomorrow

It’s not safe, it’s not safe

It’s not safe, it’s not safe

It’s not safe, it’s not safe

It’s not safe
