Rebel, Rebel
Blood is always dripping there
Sometimes it is disguised.
But why would mother ever care?
Images in my eyes…
She's seen more blood than she's seen white
These pictures tell the truth.
She takes off, killing in the night
Or is it my naïve youth?
She strikes innocents from above
Can I trust a single soul?
It pains her just to utter "love"
I'll look into the coals.
Liar liar, says the fire
I need answers now.
I am not what you desire
To you I will not bow.
Underneath that mess of feathers
Lies a deadly crow
And I can see
Who I can be
And now I truly know…
You may think that you know me, mum,
But guess what? No, you don't.
And though it's your egg I was born from,
You ask me, but I won't
Obey your stupid orders
'cause I actually have a heart
And unlike yours mine wasn't stolen
From an owl ripped apart.
