Arms Of My Father
Broken arms of quiet stillness tend to cover me Banished echoes of my soul Careful polish makes the edges seem much sharper But the rust inside still makes me cold As I scream... Father free me from the questions I am asking Nothing new beneath the sun What is freedom, what is purpose, what is real? The cries of a heart undone The dirt beneath my fingers reminds me of my searching I'm only living breath by breath A time to cry, a time to heal, a time to lift my eyes once more Another hit of crystal meth But you said nothing can tear me away from the arms of my father... She sits inside a wooden box of her devising Bangs her head against a wall She's waiting for a knight in shining armour who isn't coming Softly damns her crystal ball As she screams... He's broken in his body heart and mind Why did he try so hard? SongtexteIt only took five minutes for his dreams to fall to pieces Alone in a construction yard. But you said nothing can tear me away... Not angels, nor demons, nor death, nor life, Not papers, nor stalemates, not the blood on the knife. Not the height of the mountain, the depths of the sea, Not you or your arguments, not even me.. Nothing can tear me away... From the arms of my father Aus Songtexte Mania
