[Verse 1]
And she sits there by the wall
Making holes where I just stood
And her hands, they touch her face
Like her face is made of wood
And she holds onto a memory
Of something I never said
But she still can't quite remember
If my eyes are blue or dead

[Chorus]
She's the mother of us all
She's the victim of my sadness
And the more she tries to know it
The more she'll never fill it
She's a universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
And a total lack of faith

[Verse 2]
And I saw her once before
Down on her bended knees
Through a window of the church at night
Confessing to the broken priest
She is holy, as all women are
And she suffers like a saint
Yeah, she touched my hand with cruelty
But I was punished far too late
[Chorus]
She's the mother of us all
She's the guardian of our sin
And the more she tries to save us
The more she pulls us in
She's a universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universal emptiness
A universe, oh

[Outro]
She's the last mistake we make
