The Umbilical Cord Lyrics

Mother, can't you see that I'm okay?
It hurts in my heart to see your eyes
Close that morning. Different from all,
You put me through life with patience.
Now that it's gone, there's a hole in the dark,
Inside of me now.

I'm broken.
This feeling’s alive
The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly.

Mother, can you hear me from down here?
The wise do depart,
With luggage from past,
I'll face the blackness.

I'll remember your way
Of fighting this world.
I'll stand my ground now.
And before it all ends,
I'll graciously embrace
The fight you fought with me.

I'm broken.
This feeling’s alive
The shortness of breath drains my well-being slowly.

When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry.
I'll be watching, watching you.
When your life tries to spark, don't you let go.
Don't let your tears make this fire go out.

With the fear of no shelter, you'll build one yourself.
With fear, you'll make it through the night.
When the tears fills your eyes, don't let them know.
First you rebuild your fortress.

When there's fear in your heart, don't you dare cry.
I'll be watching, watching you.
When your life tries to spark, don't you let go.
Don't let your tears make this fire go out.
