Remorse
The days since we last spoke, turn to weeks, turn to months, turn to years
And you were heavy with child, with your arms around a stranger in fear
I had the burn in my blood, I had the ash in my veins
Had the lives I keep hid between teeth
But must never know about me
And never know of my face, between us all of the secrets we keep
My penance and your name
Hail Mary have mercy
I dreamt of loss I had been living in hell
Forgive me my father for I am a sinner
Hail Mary have mercy
I dreamt of loss I had been living in hell
Forgive me my father for I am a sinner
Reach up to the window burning red, [?] right through the blinds
And sleep never comes easy, singing [?] on and on every night
Dim glow of the street lights, forgotten tenement for the damned
No cut of the cloth, just another broken man praying for death
My penance and your name
My penance and your name
Hail Mary have mercy
I dreamt of loss I had been Living in hell
Forgive me my father for I am a sinner
Hail Mary have mercy
I dreamt of loss I had been Living in hell
Forgive me my father for I am a sinner
Hail Mary have mercy
Hail Mary have mercy
Hail Mary have mercy
Hail Mary have mercy
Hail Mary have mercy
Hail Mary have mercy
