lirik lagu red house painters – mother
(translation to: mutter)
the tears of a crowd of very old children
i string them on a white hair
i throw the wet chain into the air
and wish that i had a mother
no sun shines for me
there was no breast that cried milk
there is a tube that sticks in my throat
i have no navel on my stomach
mother
i was not allowed to lick any nipples
and there was no fold to hide in
no one gave me a name
fathered in haste and without sperm
i have sworn tonight
for the mother that never gave birth to me
i will send her a sickness
and afterwards let her sink in the river
mother
an eel lives in her lungs
on my forehead, a birthmark
i remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to die
mother
an eel lives in her lungs
on my forehead, a birthmark
i remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to bleed to death
mother
oh give me strength
