Sweet mother kept me forever
Alone and safe in a room
Why would I ask for anything other
Your world is all that I ever knew
Her hands pulling me closer
Her eyes all heavy and cold

Oh-oh
She said I keep you from danger
Oh-oh

I'm your careful protector
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside
Leaving with nothing
Under the surface I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become
The last time you tell me it's simple
I keep it in the back of my mind

Oh-oh
She said: Now don't be a stranger
Oh-oh

Just keep your head on your shoulders
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside
Leaving with nothing
Under the surface I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become
