[Verse 1] She named us “Son” and “Son again” (one cup, one crust between us two) One cradle One crooked lullaby “Be mirror Not brother” she’d coo She weighed our worth in wedding rings And which of us bowed first Fed our fire on scraps of praise Kept her crown Quenched our thirst [Chorus] Raise a cup to Mother’s mad misery Toast the queen of the shattered glass throne She wanted one shadow Not a symmetry Now her twins ride the sky on their own Oh Sing for Mother’s mad misery For the lady who blurred every name We’ll carve our coats on the clouds tonight And let the bards mispronounce her shame [Verse 2] She mixed our shirts She swapped our blades Called it “fun” to guess our scars Closed one eye when we cried “I’m me” Opened both to count her stars She kissed our brows in front of crowds Then hissed “You’re one Not two” Tried to chain four shoulders to one cloak So the court would only see her hue [Chorus] Raise a cup to Mother’s mad misery Toast the queen of the shattered glass throne She wanted one shadow Not a symmetry Now her twins ride the sky on their own Oh Sing for Mother’s mad misery For the lady who blurred every name We’ll carve our coats on the clouds tonight And let the bards mispronounce her shame [Bridge] Look up Dear dam At the double wings (two roars, one roof on fire) Hear the crowd split every cheer in half As we dance above your spire You taught us we’re reflections So we polished steel instead Now the “same boy” you kept in a single frame Writes two legends over your head (hey!) [Chorus] Raise a cup to Mother’s mad misery Toast the queen of the shattered glass throne You wanted one shadow Not a symmetry Now your twins ride the sky on their own Oh Sing for Mother’s mad misery Let the jesters repeat your old claim “We are one” you said So we answered twice And we’ll laugh while you choke on our names
