"There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night" -Albert Camus


So
I’m standing in the shower
Scrubbing my head
And I’m thinking about  about how the water
So cold
Can be so warm, and comforting

That's not all I think about when I’m scrubbing my head
I also think about what my mom once said
She said I was a b*tch
And that made me cry
And it made me think about how my tears
So cold
Can be so warm and comforting

And I think about all the times my mom said don't cry
And I think about all the times she said it’ll be alright
And I think about how someone
So cold
Can be so warm and comforting

And by this time I’m standing in the shower
Enjoying the water’s warm embrace
But I’m turning it off regardless
Because I know that something 
Because I know that someone so warm and comforting
Isn’t always so warm and comforting
And I know that by the time I get out I’ll be shivering
Cold

Growing up, I haven't had the best realtionship with my mom. Neither of us are to blame, however. Severe depression and bipolar disorder often replace her motherly-nature with something more, well, cold.
