Album: Strega (2008)

The Hours I Keep

Oh mother
Oh father
You gave me lief
You gave me death

Oh mother
Oh father
You loved me well
You can´t help me now

There is no escape

Dark water all around
On the broken bridge
Revere is bound

A dead-end maze
Dark passageways
Synapse collapse
Reality break

It's morning
Twelve hours of sleep
You won't believe the hours I keep

A veil is placed before my eyes
I can't see myself
I can't see their lies

I'm buried in this bag of skin
With sham circuitry
Where do I begin?

Oh mother
Oh father
You gave me life
You gave me death
