Mother of God Songtext
von Imogen and the Knife

I woke outside the house that′s built like a boat
I knew where I was because it was tight in my throat
Sitting like a trained dog just waiting for the ball
All the chemicals I'm made of, just waiting for your call
Then the door flew open and all the people sat around
- a mosaic of everybody who had ever let me down
I pulled up a chair to the Apostles of my Pain
In some relief, I drank, just to get out of the rain


In both hands, you clasped a silver blade
You were laughing like you loved me, my initials you engraved
I go to speak but only backwards can I talk
When I finally get the floor
The boat house becomes chalk


Oh Mother of GOD
This can′t be the only one
Waking up nightly to the same old song
I know we tried
But we used to get along
Now I wake up nightly to the same old jagged song
Oh Mother of GOD
This can't be the only one
Waking up nightly to the same old song
I know I'm just tired
But we used to get along
Now I wake up nightly to the same old jagged song
Mother of God
