Lyrics
[Verse]
Sins of a mother don't make you holy
I buried my heart so I don't feel anything
Yet you still find a way to haunt my mind
Maybe it's time we let it all out
Tell the feelings we're so scared to go without
Maybe then we'll find the missing pieces
Of what's making us be so sleepless
[Chorus]
I feel so down and lowly (What do you stand for? What do you care for?)
I feel so damned and lonely (What do you care for? What do you stare for?)
[Bridge]
I feel so irritated
I feel so left behind
I feel like a motherless child, babe
(What do you care for? What do you stare for?)
[Verse]
Silhouettes upon the hill
Rising tides make me further still
Knowing you could return to me
How can I sleep?
Looking out on the horizon
I thought I caught a glimpse of you
[Verse]
If by sea or land...
My heart will go to you, my love!
And if we stay all through the night...
my love is tried!
[Chorus]
I feel so down and lowly (What do you stand for? What do you care for?)
I feel so damned and lonely (What do you care for? What do you stare for?)
[Verse - Mellow]
All I need is to be kind,
Don't act so foolish all the time.
All I need is your good graces,
So I can just smile, baby, pick up the pieces
[Verse 2 - Aggressive]
All I feel is righteous anger!
Pull of the red tide; a wire hanger!
(All I need is to be kind,
Don't act so foolish all the time)
All I want is for forgiveness.
Drag me to the bottom, take me deep to perdition!
(All I need is to be kind)
[Verse]
Sins of a mother don't make you holy
I buried my heart so I don't feel anything
Yet you still find a way to haunt my mind
Maybe it's time we let it all out
Tell the feelings we're so scared to go without
Maybe then we'll find the missing pieces
Of what's making us be so sleepless
[Chorus]
I feel so down and lowly (What do you stand for? What do you care for?)
I feel so damned and lonely (What do you care for? What do you stare for?)
[Bridge]
I feel so irritated
I feel so left behind
I feel like a motherless child, babe
(What do you care for? What do you stare for?)
