Eaves Wilder - Mother in Your Mind Lyrics

She knows you like you don't
And she talks very slowly
All the paths that i could take
She sits me down and shows me
But she hasn't got a clue, like you do,
And she never shuts the door
When she leaves my room
Cos she's here all the time

So get up get out get going
You get out of bed
And when they do you wrong
You hold up your head

You make mistakes, delete them
Run and the you hide
But the pain gets passed along
The people you made cry

But me, i like to keep them,
And i'm fine most of the tine
Just collecting all the things
To build the mother in my mind

I was alone
And she was there
I was alone
And she was there

An attic full of postcards
From people that you've ruined
A rug on top of faces
And you never really knew them

Please somebody lead me
When i'm scared i get so violent
Sit above my eyes
Speak down and give me guidance

And so i want to grow a garden
Dig a hole where the sun can't hide
And bury all that hurt me to grow the a mother in my mind

I was alone
And she was there
I was alone
And she was there

I need to look after myself.

The bad things make the best of me
The people i made cry
The friends that i let slip away
Cos i didn't have the time

Dig down to the middle
If you saw you now when you were little
You'd hug and you would cry
You hurt her her whole life

Speak to me when im older
I'd ask
Does it turn out alright
Tell me i get through it
You give me a highfive and say

I need to grow a garden.
Keep what you grow alive.
I don't project, i soak it in,
So speak to me more kindly
I need to grow a garden.
I need to grow a garden.
Speak to me more kindly.
