Mother see, that all my life I planted flowers to survive And as they faded I stopped to speak I painted flowers and nobody knows why..... No awakening, no lullaby I only felt the need to try To have the guts or the stupidity To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all Father see, that I have tried To find that angel deep inside That you once promised I would meet And once again I ended in defeat Even here I could feel your eyes Heard your whispers and felt your lies Brother said "Come back to life" I asked some friends and nobody knew why ..... Nobody had ever seen my flood of tears I can't believe you found me here It took some time to find these words I wrote them down in hope that they might help Watch me walk barefoot on glass Insecure as only a newborn child can be Others came to laugh at me They pointed fingers as I could see Believe me saying it's not the skin It's the stranger living deep inside Mother see, that all my life I painted flowers to survive And as they faded I stopped to paint I fell asleep and nobody knows why..... Father see, that I have tried To build a world with only me inside Millions of flowers surround my bed Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all
