[Chorus 2x:]
Mother, Mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, Mother
Place me under your cover, and undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Painting over my marks

[Verse 1:]
Cause your soul had died
In my dream last night
I wasn’t looking for a fight
Clean me up, and say goodnight
(Goodnight)
And the drugs they kick in
To numb your indecision
Let the years just sink in
Fade away, say goodnight
Goodbye

[Chorus:]
Mother, Mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, Mother
Place me under your cover, and undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Painting over my marks

[Verse 2:]
Expectations
Overwhelming
My motivation has run dry

I've destroyed most things I've touched
Doesn’t mean you didn’t love me that much
I saw you clutch your filthy hands
When you said goodnight, said goodnight
Goodbye!

[Verse 3:]
Mother, Mother
I'm looking more like my father, father
Trying to recover, recover
Blur me out once again
Mother, Mother
Wish you didn’t even bother, bother
I have nothing left to offer, offer

[Chorus:]
Mother, Mother
Bet you wish I was a daughter, no bother
Ink stains on the counter out there
Clean me up with some bleach
Mother, Mother
Place me under your cover, and undiscovered
Away from the others, others
Painting over my face

[Outro:]
Still birth
Tainted
A blind mess
I came in untouched
