Mother me in this maze
Blood transfused in your gaze
The flood is high in confined quarters
your eyes shimmer like coins on dying days
The passage through unknown waters
The light reflects white through our barters
My hand extends to a friend, briefly
we make amends with the alignment of lines on our hands
Bull and battered man combined brute force with a weak mind
but even your unkindness inspired warmth in my eyes
Tears tear holes in maroon silk
Blood red rubies fall from the slits in our faces
The salty seas add insult to injury
transport power from poor workers to hungry eyes
We are mere travelers blessed with wooden cognizant hearts
Secretly teasing the embers of life to ignite our hearths
There is more to see than raging seas of empty flesh
Crimes of passion and tears of possession are weaved and liquidated
Run after the river of your ancestor's pursuits
Bright and beautiful lights bouncing off the mirrors
Enticing secular exchange in specular reflection
The same mistakes are made for eternity since antiquity

Mother me in this maze
Blood transfused in your gaze
The flood is high in confined quarters
your eyes shimmer like coins on dying days
The passage through unknown waters
The light reflects white through our barters
My hand extends to a friend, briefly

Bull and battered man combined brute force with a weak mind
but even your unkindness inspired warmth in my eyes
Tears tear holes in maroon silk
Blood red rubies fall from the slits in our faces
The salty seas add insult to injury
transport power from poor workers to hungry eyes
We are mere travelers blessed with wooden cognizant hearts
Secretly teasing the embers of life to ignite our hearths
There is more to see than raging seas of empty flesh
Crimes of passion and tears of possession are weaved and liquidated
Run after the river of your ancestor's pursuits
Bright and beautiful lights bouncing off the mirrors
Enticing secular exchange in specular reflection
The same mistakes are made for eternity since antiquity
