Mothership, Mothership, Do You Read Me Lyrics

Cursive

your navel is yearning for an extension - a ghost limb
it can’t detach from mother’s loving grasp

your starving – it’s burning for the nutrient it can’t have
were all cut off alone and lost
calling out to homebase, do you read me?
(emergency: were floating endlessly)
transmission terminated

you’ve been created, severed from life and limb
stranded an infant
on the front step of the universe
infinitely searching for a warmth
once loved, now lost forever

mothership, mothership, do you read me?
mothership, mothership, do you read me?
mothership, mothership, do you read me?
does anyone hear my siren song?

maybe I’ll be rescued 'fore too long
calling out to homebase one last time
(the signal faded out the ship is gone)

still starving for the reason
you were created, then severed from life and limb
stranded an infant
on the front step of the universe
infinitely searching for a warmth
once loved, now lost forever
