The Guise of a Mother

[Verse 1] I often wonder if we met today Would you even recognize my face? We could talk through our demons with steps retraced Help me to understand your space All I saw for years was red Focus my gaze, time elapsed Pen hits the page and I regret the act Nine years of writing so angry, misguided [Chorus] Echoes in the canyon sing I don’t owe you anything It’s done between you and me Echoes in the canyon sing "You don’t owe her anything" "You don’t owe her anything" [Bridge] You buried me, submerged the seed You buried me, submerged the seed A lesson learned never again will I go down so easily [Verse 2] Tough to break through venom you spewed What did you do? Tell me the truth Manipulation in the guise of a mother Some things can never be yours to take To force forgiveness harbours pain like no other My hands remain steady inside I shake [Chorus] Echoes in the canyon sing I don’t owe you anything It’s done between you and me Echoes in the canyon sing "You don’t owe her anything" "You don’t owe her anything" Echoes in the canyon sing I don’t owe you anything It’s done between you and me Echoes in the canyon sing "You don’t owe her anything" "You don’t owe her anything, anything" [Outro] Echoes in the canyon sing I don’t owe you anything It’s done between you and me Echoes in the canyon sing "You don’t owe her anything" "You don’t owe her anything, anything" [Over-Outro] You buried me, submerged the seed A lesson learned never again will I go down so easily
