With What I See

Hemina

Fight or flight!
Emotions I don't know about
escaped my world,
the one that fate paved out for me
Guilt for leaving Mother,
but her ways I can't defend
She vested herself in him,
for her life I would descend
Where's he now?

With what I see, the safety of my family
It was but Mother and me,
starved of a paternity
And all I ever wanted
was a woman by my side
I think I've finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me

Patiently, I visit home of yesteryears
The fragile devout lady
and her two-bit mountain sanctuary
To sate my growing hunger,
to assure her I'm still there
With what I see, she doesn't even care

With what I see, the safety of my family
It was but Mother and me,
starved of a paternity
And all I ever wanted
was a woman by my side
I think I've finally found her
With what I see she looks fine to me
