Mary Lyrics

Written in stories

Forgotten between pages

Only remembered for the man she created

Without him she fades away into history

Where do all the mothers go?

Who tells their story?

I'll tell her story

She's a ghost possessing me

All the women who couldn't speak

Live in me

Sacrifice their bodies

Carve out life like sculptures

It makes me shiver to think

She was younger than me

Washed away the flames but the embers keep alive her grief

She had to cry alone

The blood stains her dreams

I'll tell her story

She's a ghost possessing me

All the women who couldn't speak

Live in me

They say time heals wounds but scars always last

And I don't want to be chained to a man

I won't give you my hand

I'll tell her story

She's a ghost possessing me

All the women who couldn't speak

Live in me

I'll write down her story

Breathe life into pages

So, one day my daughters

Won't have to suffer like she did
