Distant
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
Voices in my mind
Rummaging around in the basement
Vying for control
Misusing me, abusing my mind
Taking control
I'm running from the pain
The fear is overwhelming
These wicked people are out for blood
They want my life
The fallen world is a sinking ship
She wants me to come underneath with her
To the shadow realms where things make no sense
She wants me dead
I love you, mother
Please be kind, remember me mother
I will forever love you
