Mother: I Still Breathe... — Symphonic Metal Ballad

༒ An elegy made of flesh, dust, and memory.

"Mother,
you taught me to chew sadness
until it bled sugar.
To fake calm
while the fire licked my tongue."

༒⋆ Lyrics ⋆༒

Mother,
you taught me to chew sadness
until it bled sugar.
To fake calm
while the fire licked my tongue.

Mother,
I followed your broken steps.
I fell, I lied, I bled…
and from the ground I felt your fingers
sewing my knees together.

Mother,
look at me: I’m still breathing
beneath the dust you left.
Mother,
look at me: your shadow beats
in the hollow where I was a child.

Mother,
I was your little animal,
the one who slept beside your bones.

I inherited your hands:
one to love, the other to drown.

The world opened like a womb,
and I danced upon its scar.
I no longer dream of you,
I drink you when I tremble.

Mother,
every victory of mine pierces you,
a shining splinter in your aging flesh.
I screamed your name,
and my voice shattered in my throat like glass.

Mother,
look at me: I’m still breathing
beneath the dust you left.
Mother,
look at me: your weeping ferments
in my open chest.

I carry your wound inside,
silent and alive.
It opens…
and it holds me.
