Mother Cries Wolf

door slams,
cigarettes,
mother cries wolf again.
we stand at the top of the stairs
though the air is cold and my hair is wet.
we hide up in bed
will it be alright, will it ever end?
cause i buy every word that you said.

and i don't know why
but i feel as though someone
closed the sky
and you're a shadow, a shadow.
another woman i feel like i used to know.

yeah

don't you patronize,
don't you look at me with your drunken eyes.
my indifference is a lot like yours
though i can't escape.
she tells me, "it's not alright,
he is losing it, can i stay the night?"
i stay up in bed and i cry.

and i don't know why
but i feel as though someone
closed the sky
and you're a shadow, a shadow.
another woman i feel like i used to know.

and i don't know why
but i feel as though someone
closed the sky
and you're a shadow, a shadow.
another woman i feel like i used to know.

and i don't know why
but i feel as though someone
stole the sky
and you're a shadow, a shadow.
another woman i feel like i used to know.

door slams,
cigarettes,
mother cries wolf again.
