She was so afraid
Since her mother, white with time
Told her
She was a failure
She was so ashamed
Of everything she said
And everything she did
For her mother, white with time
Everything around her mother
White with time
And dirty
Her mother was greedy with dirt
Greedy
Then she heard choirs of angels
Singing choirs of angels
Greedy angels
Spitting glory on her failure
That stardust of failure
As if it was the medicine that didn't work
Anyway, anyway
The windows they were closed
And the midwives had locked their doors
They didn't understand
Since her mother, white with time
Told her
She was a failure
She was so ashamed
Of everything she said
And everything she did
For her mother, white with time
Everything around her mother
White with time
And dirty
Her mother was greedy with dirt
Greedy
Then she heard choirs of angels
Singing choirs of angels
Greedy angels
Spitting glory on her failure
That stardust of failure
As if it was the medicine that didn't work
Anyway, anyway
The windows they were closed
And the midwives had locked their doors
They didn't understand
