My mother has sewn silver linings into every sky
Hands weary with the weight of the world
And I realize I have always seen Atlas when I stare into her wisened eyes
Is it strength knowing only struggle?
Is it sorrow to be bone tired in a graveyard of all the butterflies you never set free?
How do we save the ones who never ask?
How do we save the ones who cannot save themselves?
I have watched every stitch across a starless night
Every regret and dark thought displayed before me
Like a pool of shadows
Atlas spent eternity with the world chained to his shoulders
Sometimes I wonder if the forgotten gods come again in the hearts of the lost

My mother has sewn silver linings into every sky
Hands weary with the weight of the world
And I realize I have always seen Atlas when I stare into her wisened eyes
Is it strength knowing only struggle?
Is it sorrow to be bone tired in a graveyard of all the butterflies you never set free?
How do we save the ones who never ask?
How do we save the ones who cannot save themselves?
I have watched every stitch across a starless night
Every regret and dark thought displayed before me
Like a pool of shadows
Atlas spent eternity with the world chained to his shoulders
Sometimes I wonder if the forgotten gods come again in the hearts of the lost
