'Daddy'
"...rather for my peace....or what's left of it"
Another fall from grace
the Elizabethan face
of time, I cry
infinite release
to question what it means to feel the blank conclusion
I can't help those around me
Daddy brought the devil
screaming on the harvest
cast into the valley
birthing with starvation
Daddy met the sky
Caine is kissing Abel
creeping for the keeper
ten degrees of vengeance
lurking in the laughing mirrors of my mind
the devil brought the rain
flooding all our secrets
lurking through the marble
curling a testament to nothing going nowhere
and the silent violence cried
venting all the anguish
lunatics inside
Daddy brought the devil
howling in the corn stalk
growling on the highway
rising with the raven, Daddy met the sky
(repeat first verse)
...and there's no pride, the mark's been given
ostracized and only then accepted
sky blue eyes
the mark's been given
just can't be
I just can't be...
I just can't be
the mark's been given
