Lyrics
[Intro] Ah Ah-ah
Oooh
[Verse 1] She was a doorway made of nothing
A hollow where the cold wind blows
My mother wore a gown of absence
She taught me how to hold a ghost
[Pre-Chorus] And I learned to breathe in silence
I learned to love the empty air
She never named me
But I always knew her there
[Chorus] Mother void
Mother void
You fed me on the great unknown
Father space
Father space
You scattered me and called it home
I am the space between the two
Born of nothing born of you
[Verse 2] He was a drift of colder weather
A thousand miles of open night
My father hung the planets loosely
And never taught me how to fight
[Pre-Chorus] So I wander and I wonder
Is there anything to hold
A son of two infinities
Who never learned to fold
[Chorus] Mother void
Mother void
You fed me on the great unknown
Father space
Father space
You scattered me and called it home
I am the space between the two
Born of nothing born of you
[Bridge] Stretched out thin across the void
A thread a tether a fragile line
I reach for something I can name
But nothing answers nothing answers
Nothing answers back in time
[Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I have been a son of silence
I have been a child of distance
Every star a distant relative
Every empty room a friend
[Pre-Chorus] And if I fade into the vacuum
If I dissolve into the dark
Will the void remember
Will the space leave its mark
[Chorus] Mother void
Mother void
You fed me on the great unknown
Father space
Father space
You scattered me and called it home
I am the space between the two
Born of nothing born of you
[Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh
Born of nothing born of you
Ooh-ooh
Mother void and father space
[Outro] Ah
Ah-ah
Ooh
Mm
