Your irresponsible mother, gone fourteen days
Return to smother and smolder
I told her, I told him "function through feeling"
Being away, earning and dealing
Being away, earning and dealing
Even when you're sick of me
Even when you're sick of me
Goodnight, honey, I'll go on a walk
Back from school in the morning
He'll walk solemn from her
Will notice the blackouts in summer
Will notice the blackouts in summer
When he's older I'll tell him, like I told her
"Smolder beneath the surface"
To function through feelings
To function through the feeling
To function through the feelings
