The Monster taunts inside me
As if some kind of curse
Curling up inside me
Plotting only the worst

"Mother, Mother, you're so dear"-
They fill her up with glory
'Mother, Mother', thats all I hear
Every single morning

She's a fake, a sham
No one sees the truth
Am I the only one who can?
To see down to her roots

Casting me out, as if a theif
But all I have is silence
I'm not allowed to speak
A shadow at my own trial-

Yet standing at my funeral

What is there to do but wait?
And hope that things calm down
I'm using my very last restraint,
Not to come around-
Not to set things straight,
For the First and Final Time
