I wish we could start a new
Pretend we haven’t met yet
Start with, how are you?
I wish I could turn the clocks back
Do it all another way
I wish I hadn’t leant on you
With all that weight
You were bound to break
And now you bolt
It’s all my fault
I just wish you would have talked
Before you had walked
Even though I don’t really know
It seems you want me to let you go
I just wish you could tell me so
Face me
Disgrace me
Tell me what you feel
So that both of us can heal

Lonely is the leaving the radio on
So it doesn’t feel so empty coming home

I hate my brain
Especially on days
It causes my eyes to rain
As they release all the pain
Oh I miss the bliss
Of that tender kiss
Stop
Allow no room
For these thoughts
To loom
Stop

My instinct is to push you away
Your silence causes my mind to stray
Stray from what you say
I try not to get mad or sad
I push you from my mind
And just leave you behind

My patience is large
as large as my heart
And now it’s wearing thin
I try so hard to keep it all in
Until it all starts to spill

I’d rather look out my window
at beaches and trees
Than watch men fall to their knees
I’d rather hear waves crashing
Against cliffs
Than hear men using tricks with bricks
To sort out rifts
But this is where I’m living
Men fighting men and
No first aid given
Just dragged across the floor
In an attempt to be hidden
I need to get out of this city
It’s such a pity because
I used to see it as pretty
With dreaming spires
And so much culture
But now all that I see
Is vultures
Making  me want to flee
live by the sea
And finally be free

I am proud to be your daughter
I’ve watched you rise through the snow
And grow and grow and grow

From seed to tree, it was great to see
How us three because strong
Even when things went wrong

Without you we would not stand this tall
The roots you gave us are what saved us

I love you mum
