In my world, there's only the pain
that I can't seperate myself from.
And the only friends that remain are
the shattered pieces of my mind that lie
forgotten and forsaken in the attic of my soul.
Don't you remember me?
Mother of strays come find me now,
hold me once again.
you sang a song to me once,
then once the day began you left me on my own.
At the damning of the years,
your smile never fades away from my memory,
I don't know who you are.
And the darkness closes in gently,
and I am left with only what I began with.
Mother of strays look for me now.
Voices turning and turning inside,
Color my world a different color if you will,
but you can't color my soul gold.
IN a world of dying hope,
there will never be a second chance.
This is the end of all things sweet,
Because it never was and never will be,
I know you see me,
Now give me back my heart,
so maybe then I can feel something more
than your laughter in my mind.
Mother of Strays come hold me now,
craddle me with your mournful song,
I wander the streets
that divide me in my lonesome mind,
and the world you see
is different from the world I see,
I want to feel
what I never thought could ever be real.
Mother of strays,
tourniquet of my bleeding soul,
come hold me now,
and wrap me in your dark embrace.
Mother of strays hold your children in your heart.
Gather your children into your arms,
Widowed by pain,
your children call upon your name.
Keep us close to your heart,
You will hold the outcasts in your heart,
Mother of strays,
my refuge,
my home.
Come take me home
Mother of Strays.
We are the children of darkness,
forgotten by happiness,
we live in sorrow,
We are the arms that no one wants,
we are the orphans of pain.
No one even knows our names,
no one ever loved us,
no one ever knew we were there,
hiding in the shadows of pain,
Mother of strays hold your children in your heart
