Maria by Matthew Logan Vasquez Lyrics

The nurses gather 'round and help me back to bed
The self-inflicted injuries that started in my head
The mysticisms that I practiced in my youth
Found me huddled in Arizona, crippled by the truth

That I can't find Mother Maria
Am I lost in Santería?
I will do anything
As long as I can see her
I can't find
I can't find

They say the reason has been buried in the dirt
It's a fine night for the finite as I'm chewin' on her words
I'll build an altar, then I'll cut off all my hair
To please the ancient pagan gods that hide behind her stare

I can't find Mother Maria
Am I lost in Santería?
I will do anything
As long as I can see her
I can't find
I can't find
The nurses gather 'round and help me back to bed
My self-inflicted injuries that started in my head

I can't find Mother Maria
Am I lost in Santería?
I will do anything
As long as I can see her
I can't find
I can't find
I can't find
I can't find
