[Verse 1]

Sweet mother, kept me forever

Alone and safe in a room

Why would I ask for anything other?

Your world is all that I ever knew

[Verse 2]

Her hands pulling me closer

Her eyes all heavy and cold

Oh, oh, she said I keep you from danger

Oh, oh, I'm your careful protector

[Chorus]

All of these voices are making me nervous

Follow them outside, leaving with nothing

Under the surface, I am a stranger

What else to become?

No one else to become

[Verse 3]

The last time, you tell me it simple

I keep it in the back of my mind

Oh, oh, she said now don't be a stranger

Oh, oh, just keep your head on your shoulders

[Chorus]

All of these voices are making me nervous

Follow them outside, leaving with nothing

Under the surface, I am a stranger

What else to become?

No one else to become
