The Guise of a Mother - Trash Boat, T, RAS

I often wonder if we met today

Would you even recognize my face?

We could talk through our demons with steps retraced

Help me to understand your space

All I saw for years was red

Focus my gaze, time elapsed

Pen hits the page and I regret the act

Nine years of writing so angry, misguided

Echoes in the canyon sing

I don’t owe you anything

It’s done between you and me

Echoes in the canyon sing

«You don’t owe her anything»

«You don’t owe her anything»

You buried me, submerged the seed

You buried me, submerged the seed

A lesson learned never again will I go down so easily

Tough to break through venom you spewed

What did you do?

Tell me the truth

Manipulation in the guise of a mother

Some things can never be yours to take

To force forgiveness harbours pain like no other

My hands remain steady inside I shake

Echoes in the canyon sing

I don’t owe you anything

It’s done between you and me

Echoes in the canyon sing

«You don’t owe her anything»

«You don’t owe her anything»

Echoes in the canyon sing

I don’t owe you anything

It’s done between you and me

Echoes in the canyon sing

«You don’t owe her anything»

«You don’t owe her anything, anything»

Echoes in the canyon sing

I don’t owe you anything

It’s done between you and me

Echoes in the canyon sing

«You don’t owe her anything»

«You don’t owe her anything, anything»

You buried me, submerged the seed

A lesson learned never again will I go down so easily
