The Hours I Keep

Oh mother Oh father

You gave me life

You gave me death

Oh mother Oh father

You loved me well

You can't help me now

There is no escape.

Dark water is all around

On the broken bridge

Revere is bound

A dead-end maze

Dark passageways

Synapse collapse

Reality break

There is no escape.

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

There is no escape

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

There is no escape.
