about

In collaboration with producer/singer-songwriter Jennifer Pague of Vita and the Woolf, we created a track that contemplates motherhood without saying anything concrete about it because that would be dangerous.

lyrics

This time I’m licking the plate clean

Hit the bullseye on an easy target
Weren't we just getting somewhere?
It makes no difference
Sit right on top of all the games we used to play
Not gonna make a scene
I’ll lick that plate

Mother, you said to me:
Don’t make me fall apart
If you make me fall apart, it’s your fault (it’s your fault)
Mother, you said to me:
Don’t make me fall apart
If you make me fall apart, it’s your fault

Better now, but better when?
This doesn’t feel like it ends

You be the dog, I’m the dirty dishes
Take it all away against my wishes
It’s your fault
Take the blame
Don’t you make a scene
Get that plate clean!
Just like mother would have told me

Better now, but better when?
This doesn’t feel like it ends
Better now, but better when?
This doesn’t feel like it ends
