*Mother, you ask me to cut the cake But mother, oh my sweet mother, I'm merely holding a knife here Mother you think it's my birthday and I should be happy, But little do you know, Mother, my incognisant mother You see, this here in my soft, tender hands It's more tempting than the candles you brought, More intimidating than you sitting in front, It brings the flashbacks more than a picture does To you, it's something as superficial as love But to me, my mother To me, it's a reminder of all the things I could never be, That I belong to no one, And mother, that none belongs to me*

Mother, My Mother
*Mother, you ask me to cut the cake But mother, oh my sweet mother, I'm merely holding a knife here Mother you think it's my birthday and I should be happy, But little do you know, Mother, my incognisant mother You see, this here in my soft, tender hands It's more tempting than the candles you brought, More intimidating than you sitting in front, It brings the flashbacks more than a picture does To you, it's something as superficial as love But to me, my mother To me, it's a reminder of all the things I could never be, That I belong to no one, And mother, that none belongs to me*
