lyrics

They told me stories of my father
And I followed where they wanted
I was soft and I feared them all

Will I ever be a mother?
Every girl is bound to wonder
Or will you pull me the other way?

Sometimes I dream of home
But the memory’s quickly fading
A HOUSE WITH A RED DOOR
Or was it just my imagination

Written in the constellations
I’ll stand alone with my creations
Isn’t that what a mother does?

Still I feel as though I made ya
You were just a hand grenade, but
Soon you could be an atom bomb

All of those I’ve loved
Into the past they keep disappearing
Dark and twisted ghosts
Things I’ll never hold while I’m living

Sometimes it seems like I can see so far
Following a bleeding star
And I’ve been tracing all the miles you’ve flown
How you’ve grown, how you’ve grown

Rage of the world on my shoulders
It has made me a soldier
I can hear their voices in my veins

Burning skies raining on me
Scorched earth like Nagasaki
I have learned how to scream my name

Sometimes I feel so young
Why can’t I have all we were made for?
A woman of the world
And a bullet safe in the chamber
All of those I’ve loved
Into the past they keep disappearing
Dark and twisted ghosts
Things I’ll never hold while I’m living

I was the dragon’s daughter
My blood’s still got that fire
I’ll turn back just to watch them burn
