mother dear i need you here
your soft embrace i need with haste
your kisses sweet they were a treat
your hands so warm my mind's a storm
these demons hurt it's so overt
heartbreak you make in your wake
i need a break god please it's late

mother dear why aren't you here
i age each day while you lay
six feet deep beneath my feet
you're skin and bones i'm dragged with stones
i miss you so why did you go
i'm drowning here please appear

mother dear i am depressed
my mind a mess but i digress
my greatest love my fallen dove
my mother dear who can't be here
your daughter weeps not counting sheep
oh mother dear take me from here

mother dear i know you're near
my dreams a base to see your face
warmth in my chest beneath my breast
mother's comfort at its best
i'll see you soon amongst the moon
a future lost and at what cost
a bond unbroken despite death
mother dear you know the rest

mother dear who can't be here
you loved me so why did you go
your visits slim wine to the brim
our future gone farewell at dawn

mother dear who lived in fear
demons dancing in her brain
mother dear we're both insane
her thoughts were ice filled with vice
sweet release my mother craved
pain free she was laid in her grave

my mother dear who's no longer here
i love you so i hope you know
reunion delayed i'm not afraid
one day we'll meet amongst the clouds
our voices shrill our screams so loud
you are at peace i will release
hurt in my heart that plagues my mind
don't worry mommy i'll be fine
