Rescue You

Don't know this place
I don't know where I'm going
Your foreign face --
your cracks are showing
I've never been this far
No, never before

You wear me down
'til I am putty in your hands
You pout and scream
when I don't honour your demands
I'm so lost from you I cry
I'm the mother, you're the child

Yet I, I'm the only one
to save you from yourself
And you cry for me to
Rescue you

You track me down
with condemning eyes so still
Can't run or hide
for you dictate how I shall feel
My shame convinces me that I
am not worthy of your love

You've had your life
Now you're controlling mine
Your ceaseless words
will not win you my time
I'm consumed in every way
I need your love, I must obey
the words you say

Yet I, I'm the only one
to save you from yourself
And the pain I pursue to
Rescue you

Don't know this place
I don't know where I'm going
Your foreign face
All your cracks are showing
Oh, I don't know what to say

Yet I, I'm the only one
to save you from yourself
And the pain I pursue to
Rescue you
