In "My Confession," MOTHICA admits that inherited pain and sleeplessness have hollowed her out, leaving her unable to be what a partner wants while still saying what they like. She sees a girl in the mirror with no light in her eyes, pretending to be fine while bitterness eats her alive. The confession repeats that she never learns her lesson, and suffering feels easier because it gives her a reason to bite.
My Confession Lyrics by MOTHICA
We were made for each other
How we’re hollow inside
I can’t be what you want
But I can say what you like
I am just like my mother
I can’t sleep through the night
Sharp white noise in my brain
And an itch to survive
And I feel the surrender
But I shadow the light
I inherit your pain
But I keep it inside
It’s not my youth I remember
It’s the thorn in my side
I swore I’d never be bitter
I live up to the lie
This is my confession
This is my confession
This is my confession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson
Who is this girl in the mirror
With no light in her eyes?
One day I might just forgive her
For her self-sacrifice
When we look at each other
I pretend that I’m fine
But I am filled to the gutter
And it eats me alive
I could be light as a feather
Delicate, laced in white
But there’s no joy I can’t smother
Purely out of spite
I’ve tried to recover
It just didn’t feel right
It’s easier when I suffer
Gives me reason to bite
This is my confession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson
Call it my obsession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson
This is my confession
This is my confession
This is my confession
This is my confession
