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
(pre)
And you wonder where you are
How you were killed but didn’t die
(chorus)
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
(pre)
Knocked to the ground the baby cries
Kicking holes in the sky
Chorus
