Lyrics:
Mother by Tallies

My mother taught me to ask questions,
She said that boyfriend will not do
I talked yet still I never listen,
Somehow she always still rings true

I counted the days until my birthday,
Some cosmic-adventures will ensue
I drove my mom along the highways,
Down roads, we never changed our tune

She said leave your past tomorrow,
And don’t leave those skulls to dry
Don’t fill your holes with sorrow,
Cause you’ll never be left alive
Bend those rules, they’re so thin
And I’m talking to the window,
It’s not safe, it’s not safe,
Just don’t lean on me tomorrow

I question what’s between the trees,
I feel the earth between the greens
I wonder what’s between the oceans,
The one she points them out to me

She said leave your past tomorrow,
And don’t leave those skulls to dry
Don’t fill your holes with sorrow,
Cause you’ll never be left alive
Bend those rules, they’re so thin,
And I’m talking to the window,
It’s not safe, it’s not safe,
Just don’t lean on me tomorrow

It’s not safe, it’s not safe,
It’s not safe, it’s not safe,
It’s not safe, it’s not safe,
It’s not safe

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
