Mother, do you know how
All of this has changed us
I was a fool who would always defend you
Was I wrong, too, like the others
Sisters and brothers abandoned
Forgive my living, keep me from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
Mother, is it easy
Knowing that I will die soon
Will you keep me as ashes
Placed on the mantle or thrown out
Mother, do you know now
Love is not painless, it's poison
Forgive my living, keep my from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
