Pater Familias Lyrics

Pater Familias lyrics

It’s time to leave this burning ship behind

It’s time to come to terms and realise

There’s nothing to be found in that left behind

But reddish traces of forgotten crimes

And I fear the rage will grow above my head

When oil gets spilled, the fire fed

The precious bounds of forgiveness almost met

Indeed I’m better off remembering instead



Every day I diagnose myself and I see more of what I hate

This can’t be happening

Oh, cruel twist of fate



YOUR EQUAL, YOUR SEQUEL

(a copy of a copy)

PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT [4x]



[chorus]

I’m looking at a face I don’t believe this can’t be my
legacy

SAY I’M NOT LIKE YOU, SWEAR I WON’T END UP LIKE THIS

What remains is courteousy and all the rest is history

SAY I’M NOT LIKE YOU, SWEAR I WON’T END UP LIKE THIS



What’s mine remains the bond between our lives

I see you in the mirror with my eyes

The spitting image of that worthless life

The shiny happy family a mere disguise

And yet I vow to myself I’ll change

The detriment done I’ll re-erase

No more will I be marked as what you made

Now all that’s left is to face that I’m afraid



Every day I diagnose myself and I see more of what I hate

This can’t be happening

Oh, cruel twist of fate

Slip into your skin

Weed out the rot

And reap the right that lies within

Not repeat the mistake

And hate myself

But learn to accept my fate instead



[chorus]



YOUR EQUAL, YOUR SEQUEL

(a copy of a copy)

PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT [4x]
