Here, we see the notion of finding acceptance from the highest authority, looking for the love of someone who knows them better than anyone else.

lyrics

I've got so much to show for
To make me the child you adore
Oh, mother, Earth mother
Mother doesn't love you the way I do
Father, I don't mean to bother
But I've begun to teeter and totter.
I've been smothered, and I can stutter
These are only gifts for you

You know what is on mine
You know what there is to find
Whether I'll feel you on my ear
Whether I'll make you disappear

Take me as I am
I'm doing the best that I can
If good is not enough
I can only vie so much for your love
With blood on my hands
They're no nails, but understand
If good is not enough
I can only vie so much for your love
