"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
--Aristotle
Mother
2008
The door was open, no one was looking
Single with two kids on my knee
The bills don’t pay themselves
She was thirteen, so young and beautiful
Home to an empty house each day after school
Only the TV to keep her company
And he walked in like family
He was a friend, or a not so friend of mine
He pulled the wool over everybody’s
Eyes
That man I hope he gets his
That man is no more than a thief
Too naïve to realize
He was ripping apart my family
Come time to pay the Piper
May he die slow and painful
I couldn’t see what was right in front of me
So what kind of mother am I
Small are those who would twist a mind with words
And weak are those who would
Would turn a blinded eye
Self-loathing still remains, and I have him to blame
Self-righteous pedophile and I his humbled fool
So evil and so cruel, to prey and then to pry
Love from a mother’s womb
He was a friend, or a not so friend of mine
He pulled the wool over everybody’s
Eyes
That man I hope he gets his
That man is no more than a thief
Too naïve to realize
He was ripping apart my family
Come time to pay the Piper
May he die slow and painful
I couldn’t see what was right in front of me
So what kind of mother am I
He was a friend, or a not so friend of mine
He pulled the wool over everybody’s ...
Don’t trust him, don’t listen
For God sake don’t go with him
Have I not taught you anything
That man I hope he gets his
That man is nothing but a creep
Too naïve to realize
He was seducing her right away from me
Come time to pay the Piper
May he die slow and painful
I couldn’t see what was right in front of me
So what kind of mother am I
Mothers watch those that care for your children
Well, I think the song pretty much says it all. This song is about a very personal point during my life that effected people around me. How many single mothers find themselves in these kind of situations? How many mothers blame themselves for not protecteing their children because they didn't see it coming? This happens more that we think and the reality of the situation is horrible. For this particular family, and for this particular mother, it was a devistating situation that turned her self-image into self-loathing. This is one of those rare songs that I played with for years before I was actually able to put music to it. The creation of this song is actually a great story that I like to tell. It is one of my deepest felt, and proudest musical adventures.
