lyrics

hear the crying underground
screaming painfully
mouth suppressed into the soil to set you free

like a star or animal
make a screeching sound
will I have the breath of life in me when I'm found?

sleepless mother won't you make it alright?
you're there when i don't make a sound
I drift away and know you've called my body back home.

my bottom ribs are suffering
stretch and break till they lose form
sing, oh earth as I decay and am reborn.

letting go as I awake
pulsing veins bleed out
smiling as I hear her voice resound in my mouth.

sleepless mother won't you make it alright?
you're there when i don't make a sound
I drift away and know you've called my body back home.
