[Intro - Slow, Haunting Clean Guitar Melody, A Soft Music Box, & A Heavy, Slow Heartbeat Bass] [Soft, trembling, tearful whisper] Hush now... Don't cry. Mommy's here. I won't let the cold world hurt you anymore. [Verse 1] Years of empty nurseries, silent halls of grief, Searching through the darkness for a shred of sweet relief. A decade of heartbreak, arms forever bare, Praying to a heaven that was empty and unfair. When the mind finally snaps to survive the endless pain, The whole wide world looks broken in the pouring rain. Everyone's a child who was left out in the cold, And I'll make sure you're safe before the story's told. [Pre-Chorus - The Guitars Build with Heavy Distortion, A Choker Stabilizer Hums] [Intense, breathless, trembling cadence] Muscle mass solidifying, density takes hold, A suffocating safety in the grip of winter's cold! You're fighting back and crying like a disobedient child, While my maternal instincts run completely wild! [Chorus - Heavy Alternative-Grunge Drop & Raw, Powerful Vocals] [Fierce, desperate, emotional vocals] SMOTHERING GRIP! An inescapable embrace! Protecting every orphan in this cruel and vicious place! A worn-out apron tied across a tactical design— You are all my children, and your safety now is mine! The world refused to let me hold the family I lost, So I'll wrap you in a prison and I'll never count the cost! A soft and creepy smile through the tears upon my face— Welcome to the shelter of a mother's fatal grace! [Verse 2] They call it a villainy, they call it a disease, When I force a stubborn hero down upon their knees. It's just discipline and care, it's love so fierce and deep, Rocking you to safety while the underworld falls asleep. Choker humming softly just to keep the balance true, There is nothing in this universe I wouldn't do for you! [Bridge - Stripped Back, Only a Slow Heartbeat Bass and Heavy Breathing] [Low, intimate, chilling maternal whisper] Why are you running from me, sweet child? [A sudden, heavy crunch of shifting density and muscle] ...Mommy only wants to keep you safe forever. [Final Chorus - Maximum Alternative-Grunge Intensity & Epic Emotional Peak] SMOTHERING GRIP! An inescapable embrace! Protecting every orphan in this cruel and vicious place! A worn-out apron tied across a tactical design— You are all my children, and your safety now is mine! The world refused to let me hold the family I lost, So I'll wrap you in a prison and I'll never count the cost! A soft and creepy smile through the tears upon my face— Welcome to the shelter of a mother's fatal grace! [Outro - Slow Grunge Guitar Feedback Fading Out with a Soft, Lullaby Hum] [Tearful, gentle whisper] Shh... Go to sleep now. You're safe. [Final low, heavy bass thud and absolute silence]
