From Them Paroles

madness, what has brought you
what has delivered you
my way

courage, where were you yesterday
when I couldn't find the words
I needed to say
to him, to her, to them

Mother, come and find me
your little boy,
has gone astray

Father, please forgive me
and all your dreams for me
that I slayed

darkness, say hello to me,
come back inside,
help me sleep
revenge, come and sit with me
teach me all your ways
and get satisfied again

treason, give me a lesson
make me remember wrongs
placed towards me once again
from him, from her, from them
