THICK - Mother

Copied!

I’m not your mother
I didn’t carry you for 9 months in my womb
I’m just your lover
And I’m tired of getting those two roles confused

I’m not your past
I’m not your ex
I’m not the bad dreams that keep you stuck inside your bed

I’m not your past
I’m not your ex
I’m not the bad thoughts that keep you stuck inside your head

You can't have what you want to have
I can always be erased
You can't have what you want to have
I can always be replaced

Just slow down
Eyes on yourself
Can’t be the one for you to lean on

I’m not your father
I’m not the one who lied and caused you all of your pain
I’m just your lover
And I’m tired of bearing the burden of his mistakes
I’m not your past
I’m not your ex
I’m not the bad dreams that keep you stuck inside your bed

I’m not your past
I’m not your ex
I’m not the bad thoughts that keep you stuck inside your head

Just slow down
Eyes on yourself
Can't be the one for you to lean on

Don’t pull me in this
Put pressure
I’ve already given
Onto the ground
More than I wanted
Can't be the one for you to lean on

Hush little baby
Don’t say a word
Your mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Your mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
Your mother’s gonna buy you a fucking good time
And if that good time falls apart
Your mother’s gonna take care of your broken little heart

Biography

edit bio

Born from the DIY/all-ages scene New York, THICK make music with the raw defiance of punk and addictive melodies of pop, punchy and catchy and wildly tongue-in-cheek. With their live show typically spawning a mosh pit described by Stereogum as “more like an aggressive hug,” the Brooklyn-based trio brings an unchecked intimacy to every song while building a deep and unshakable solidarity with the audience.

The band’s third EP and first release since signing to Epitaph Records, THICK bottles up the reckless energy of their live set and adds new textures to a gloriously scrappy sound they’ve labeled “girlwave.” The three-song release also reveals THICK’s particular brand of lyrical genius: calling out the stupidities of the status quo and claiming their own space apart from the masses.
