lyrics

The old rope’s tightening - day by day, more and more
And though it chokes me now - still I cannot cut the cord
‘Cause I’m a slave to it
The clock face winks at me - gathers time, ticking bomb
But I’ll just stare him out - we both know I’ll succumb
So I’m a slave to it, cannot escape from what you bring

And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night
And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before
The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night
And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion

Papa said, it don’t come easy
The mind is bread for more and more and more
My mother said, child keep it breezy
Don’t be mislead, by more and more and more

A tunnel widening - day by day, ain’t no doubt
And in it’s blinding dark - still I cannot shut you out
‘Cause I’m a slave to it
My demons laugh me down - with ever stronger force and might
But I’ll just let them play - as they feed my appetite
And I’m a slave to it, cannot escape from what you bring

And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night
And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before
The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night
And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion

Papa said, it don’t come easy
The mind is bread for more and more and more
My mother said, child keep it breezy
Don’t be mislead, by more and more and more

And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night
And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before
The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night
And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion
