Mother, dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said

that I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead

and I'm not a mirror for you when you were young

but I still remain your faithful only son.

Lately I've been feeling kind of fragile

lately, I've been feeling all worn out

What would any of us do if all the dreams we had came true?

What would there be left to dream about?

Father, dear father, I'm not trying to reject

the values that you held like winning cards up to your chest

and I can't just do the things you wished you'd done

though I still remain your faithful only son.

Faithful son.
