Jesus bring the quiet let my mind let go

Chapters 2-3: Mother, Mother - Summary

At a mandatory Zenithian sermon, Mira struggles under the faith's suffocating expectations—restrictive dress codes, enforced note-taking, and the subtle hierarchies of devotion. While her mind escapes to visions of forest freedom, she endures humiliation from the devout who embody Zenith's purity obsessions.

That evening, desperate for answers about her absent mother, Mira confronts her father Elias. His cryptic response devastates her: "She's not like us, Mira. She walks a different path—a path we can never follow." Her violet eyes, so different from any human's, mark her as eternally separate, confirming her otherworldly heritage.

Seeking solace, Mira drags her best friend Kat to their secret sanctuary—a hidden waterfall deep in the ancient forest where the Wild Gods' influence remains pure. As Mira revels in the freedom of cold water and wild spaces, Kat systematically dismantles every reference to the old gods while pressing Mira to undergo Zenithian Baptism.

Their philosophical debate reveals the depth of Kat's transformation: Kat insists on absolute good, while Mira defends natural balance. Under mounting pressure and facing the loss of her only friend, Mira reluctantly agrees to speak with Lucien—a compliance that feels like a lie that may destroy her authentic self.

Mother, Mother
Track 02

Mother, mother...  
You walk a path I cannot follow...  
Cannot follow...

White walls closing in on me  
Incense choking what I breathe  
Dress too tight, can't find my skin  
They say kneel, but I can't give in  
Mmm-oh-ah... mmm-oh-ah...

Father's books won't speak her name  
"She's not like us," his voice in pain  
Violet eyes stare back at me  
Mirror shows what I might be  
Oh-way-oh... way-oh...

Mother, mother, where'd you go?  
Walk a path I'll never know  
Mother, mother, am I you?  
Is that why I can't make it through?

She's not like us... not like me...  
Different path... set my soul free...

But I RUN! I RUN! Through the ancient trees!  
Bare feet flying, finally free!  
The waterfall calls my name!  
I leap into the wild gods' domain!

Cold water holds me, I'm ALIVE!  
The forest knows I will survive!  
No white robes can bind my soul!  
The wild makes me whole!  
Makes me whole!

Kat says "be chosen, wash it clean"  
But I still hear what she's not seen  
Nymphs in pools and dryads near  
Old gods whisper what I fear  
Hey-yah-oh... hey-yah-oh...

"She walks a different path," he said  
Those words keep spinning in my head  
Am I the bridge she couldn't be?  
Between the wild and what they need?  
Oh-way-oh-way...

At the falls! At the falls!  
Where the old magic calls!  
Strip away what isn't real!  
Let the wild gods make me feel!

Hey-yah! Hey-yah! Oh-way-oh!  
Diving deep where shadows go!  
Hey-yah! Hey-yah! Oh-way-oh!  
This is all I need to know!

So I RUN! I RUN! Through the ancient trees!  
Bare feet flying, finally free!  
The waterfall drowns their prayers!  
I breathe the wild gods' sacred air!

Cold water holds me, I'm ALIVE!  
Mother's blood helps me survive!  
No baptism can claim my soul!  
The wild makes me whole!  
I AM whole!

Mother, mother...  
Your different path...  
Maybe leads...  
Back to me...  

Maybe I'm the path...  
You couldn't follow...

Mother, Mother
