Motherfather - Adam Watts

This is how a heart breaks

It doesn’t tell you why

It bleeds, then it dies

This is how the dark takes

Every inch your life

Then it laughs while you cry

And you wonder where you are

How you were killed but didn’t die

Where are you now

Motherfather… Motherfather

Where were you then

Motherfather… Motherfather

And I watch for the signs

The promise you’d appear

I feel you inside

As I fight through the tears

Where are you now

This is how the past shakes

And the earth opens wide

And pulls you inside

Then no matter how brave you are

The heat starts to rise

And reopens the scars

Knocked to the ground the baby cries

Kicking holes in the sky

Where are you now

Motherfather… Motherfather

Where were you then

Motherfather… Motherfather
