The Umbilical Cord

Mother, can't you see that I'm okay?
 It hurts in my heart
 To see your eyes close that morning
 Different from all
 You put me through life with patience
 Now that it's gone
 There's a hole in the dark, inside of me now
 I am broken
 This feeling's alive
 The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly
 ♪
 Mother, can you hear me from down here?
 The wise do depart
 With luggage from past I'll face the blackness
 I'll remember your way
 Of fighting this world, I'll stand my ground now
 Before it all ends
 I'll graciously embrace the fight you fought with me
 I am broken
 This feeling's alive
 The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly
 ♪
 When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry
 I'll be watching, watching you
 When your life tries to spark, don't you let go
 Don't let your tears make this fire go out
 ♪
 With the fear of no shelter, you'll build one yourself
 With fear, you'll make it through the night
 When the tears fills your eyes, don't let them know
 First you rebuild your fortress
 ♪
 When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry
 I'll be watching, watching you
 When your life tries to spark, don't you let go
 Don't let your tears make this fire go out
