It's Okay, Mother
Upside down
My eyes dilate
Reel on blood-red skies
Raining in my head
Puppet on a string
Slam headfirst into barrage
Teething on concrete
My gums are bleeding
Meander in murk darkness
Pulling the strings
Head hit the jug
Scattered in my face
Swim through the waves
Crashing on purgatory shore
Take me away
Because I'm blind beneath it all
Cocooned in misery
Nobody wants you anymore
So why won't you die?
'It's Okay, Mother' JoSav 2002
What's it about? Mother, and then some.
