Ain't I so nice, mother you're so wise

I'll satisfy your will

You've tied me tight, but I won't fight

Because I don't dare to try



A holy place for disgrace

After having been a bad bad boy



You like to see me cry, a fact your can't deny

Mother I ask you why?

If I hurt your honour, you push me back into my corner



You want to protect me from the wicked world outside

You keep me in your empire of glass and I'm your pride



I dream of breaking the glass and stepping into the unknown

But do I have strength to pull myself over the wall of fear

What would happen to my mother?

Would I hurt your feelings?

Would you still take me back if I missed you too much?



Spoke up my mind, mother you're not so kind

I'm back in the corner

I'm begging thanksgiving, "You must be kidding"

Guessed I did disappoint you, oh mommy, I'm so sorry



A holy place for disgrace

After having been a bad bad boy



To this white sheep, raising stuck cuts too deep

I think I'm done

The cuts will bleed 'cos you don't have

What they really need



You wanted to protect me from my dream world outside

Kept me in your empire of glass, say bye bye to your pride
