Mama, won’t you help me find the light?
See, I thought I hid it safe inside of the night
But the X that marked the spot has worn with age
And all the signs begin to look the same
And I'm so proud of the secrets that I held
So well I seem to have kept them from myself
Mama, did it feel the same for you?
Or did your light turn into something new?
See, Mama, all the change that I have met
It fills me up and then it empties out again
And I so caught on a search for something else
So unaware of the secrets falling out
When I’ve finally lost all of my things
What will you do with the empty hands I bring?
The world you see
A line you've crossed
A fracture in the space
Time you steal
The love you've cost
A quickening of the pace
The hurt you feel
That once was lost
Has come to show it's face
But nothing's real
Not you nor me
Soon we'll leave this place
Mama, won’t you help me find the light?
See, I thought I hid it safe inside of the night
But Mama, safe has gone and changed her shape
And I can’t fit into that homely space
And I'm so proud of the secrets that I held
So well I seem to have kept them from myself
