These burning letters
Go to my dying mother
To help her
Sing the last note
In the clash of concertos
Called her downfall

Dear mother, oh mother
Do not cry
You will be going
To a place
Where no one
Can wipe your tears
They were too busy
Paving the road ahead of you
It is the same way it has been for me

Dear mother oh mother
Let me build
The house from stones
Left behind
By us skipping rocks
By the streams
The place where you raised us
So we couldn't sink

With the stones
Glued to your heart,
Somedays on a casty day,
I'll reel myself
To this war zone
And the hear the wailing
That comes from the waves
Receding from the cove

Dear mother, oh mother
Pray for me
In my darkest hours
Leave me
In this dusty attic
It creaks the leaks
Left by the creek

Dear mother, oh mother
Please don't see my future
All you will see
Are shards of regrets
Draped by the fabric
Of the silenced

If you saw who I would be
It would break your heart
That rest by these burning letters.
