i ll take this room she s looking to start anew and dispose of her traits washing her hands of tomorrow cause she knows it ll be the same i ll meet a new face one that can show me a trace of a change in me and smother the shadow that i form in a blanket of harmony i m a stranger here oh dear what now she never wanted to be a leaf on the family tree walking a road that will lead to a place she has already seen so bare so bold she feels the rush of the night with no baggage to tow and no sign of a trail behind as the roots of your tree are relying as ever to feed off what you seek how long until the roots break the roots break how long before the shame before the shame how long until she surrenders to the boy with no name i m a stranger here oh dear what now she never wanted to be a leaf on the family tree taking a road that will lead to a life she had already seen with the curtains drawn she feels the kick of the night with no rogue to hold your unborn s kicking the life out of you as you scream fearing what the night delivers when you sleep mother s got you in your dreams mother s got you in your dreams mother s got you in your dreams mother s got you in your dreams mother s got you in your dreams it s okay
