Mother, tell me your story
Tell me how my world became to be
Tell me why you look like splattered paint
That scattered through the galaxy
Mother, are you still alive?
I see you shining brightly
But that's because my feet
Are planted in the sand
As much as you do try
Your light won't reach our sky
Graveyard of stars
Suspended in the past
Preserved to last
Useless hope
For you to come home
Mother, who were you before?
Did you have big ambitions?
Wake up early? Do the dishes?
Did you paint with all the colours?
Did you go outside the lines?
Did you laugh and did you cry?
Oh mother, did you cry?
Graveyard of stars
Suspended in the past
Preserved to last
Useless hope
For you come home
Mother, no one knows your heart
You try to help yourself
But you're falling apart
A sea of all your wishes
Glued onto dead fishes
Oh mother, they're weighing you down
Down ...
Graveyard of stars
Suspended in the past
Preserved to last
And then the graveyard's finally
Elapsed
Please laugh
Please
