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.
