Lyrics, "Creature Mother"

creature mother

creature mother
come to nurture
am i hungry
not enough to feed
on your vanity
creature mother
i was kept young
and i was kept ignorant
but i should have looked
i should have been clever
Pandora
and i could have loved you
i could have saved you but
i am a wrecking ball
creature mother
creature mother
do you hear her
rambling as the sea
do you see her
hair as uncertain as waves
it chokes me
creature mother
a yearning for what they're holding
that's not in my arms
creature mother
words grow shadows
throwing words like poisons
over my hands
throwing sparks where the flint
meets darkness
dropping me you me you me you
and if i drown in the silence
you will throw me a voice
creature mother
creature mother
come to nurture
please let me nurture you with my own vanity
i was kept young and
i was kept ignorant but
i should have looked
i should have been clever
Pandora
but I am a creature mother
greet your mother
creature mother
