Through the static silence of suburban haze Mother's fingers tremble on the window's face Each notification like a lightning strike Shatters through her essence, keeps her soul awake Messages are fleeting like autumn leaves While the morning newsfeeds make her heart freeze Silent prayers scattered in the void As the war-torn stories leave her soul destroyed Every fucking sunrise brings another strain Watching shadows dance like drops of acid rain Trapped between tomorrow and yesterday While her child's fighting worlds and worlds away All these hollow updates flood her screaming mind Leaving burning traces, scars of different kind In this endless vigil, she remains alone With her beating heart turned into goddamn stone Then the light illuminates one final time Burning through her retinas like scalding wine Victory's shadow stretches through the land But her child's message's written in blood-stained sand Silver threads are glistening through her tears As the morning twilight drowns her deepest fears Pride and pain are dancing their macabre show While her world dissolves in crimson afterglow Every fucking sunrise brings another strain Watching shadows dance like drops of acid rain Trapped between tomorrow and yesterday While her child's fighting worlds and worlds away All these hollow updates flood her screaming mind Leaving burning traces, scars of different kind In this endless vigil, she remains alone With her beating heart turned into goddamn stone In this modern warfare, there's no space for grief Just the cold statistics bringing no relief But behind each number, there's a beating heart Torn between glory and falling apart Every fucking sunrise brings another strain Watching shadows dance like drops of acid rain Trapped between tomorrow and yesterday While her child's fighting worlds and worlds away All these hollow updates flood her screaming mind Leaving burning traces, scars of different kind In this endless vigil, she remains alone With her beating heart turned into goddamn stone
