From the recording For You Not Them
Lyrics
With our eyes downcast, in the ring like a bull
Polite, civilized, murder
You do your best – I’ll do what it takes to
Survive – a la famiglia
I used to dream that I was flying
Suspended in air like an angel
A la famiglia!
I’m still not sure who you are
Or what it is you wanted from me
I was just a kid
But I feel like one still
With a broken toy
I used to dream that I was flying
Suspended in air like an angel
A la famiglia!
Free of time
Free of space
Free of guilt
Free of pain
Free of the ghosts that haunt me still
A la famiglia
A la Famiglia
Will I be allowed to forgive myself
Take my place – take control
I am not accountable
Forgive – a la famiglia
A La Famiglia!
