Quartz

from Mother EP by LO-GHOST

lyrics

Did you build a forgiver?
We were down by the river, looking for stones
I found a rock smoothed by water
You found green Quartz, then you took me home

Now, I know that was a perfect day
Before the river came rushing in and washed you away
And I was left drowning for years, for years

Did you build a forgiver?

Yes, father's leaving and mother's grieving
They say that's how it goes
But, I know, everyday, that you chose to stay away
I grew harder like that stone

Do you know who I am?
Do you know where I've gone?
What I've seen? Who I've been lately?
Do you know what I want? What I'm trying to do?
Every day how I fail on the daily?

Have you looked for me lately?
Does it wake you like it wakes me?
Would it be different if I was a son?

I am the son and the daughter
I am the father who taught her
I am the stillness
I am the running river

Look at my heart
I am the running river
Look at my heart, look at my heart

I am the running river
Won't you take me back
Won't you take me back
Won't you take me back
Won't you take me back
To the river

It was the perfect day
