Scorre lento il mio tempo
Che scivola sul velo della mia pella nuda
Se oltrepassassi il confine che mi hai dato
Forse io non sarei qui

Da adesso ormai che senso ha
Cercare di abbracciare un passato pi puro
Guardando avanti rischier
Ma riesco a rispondere ai miei perch

Tutto cio che sarai
Era gi stato scritto
Se davvero esiste
Questo dio ha fallito

Ogni parola pronunciata
Sar lo specchio del tuo dolore
Riflette la colpa
Alimenta l'odio

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Sono ancora in piedi in questo istante di pura follia
Non so pi se desiderare il bene o il male
Anche se il peccato forse pi mi da

Da adesso ormai che senso ha
Opporre resistenza a un destino segnato
Non rester a guardare senza
Riuscire a resisterti
Risvegliarmi

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Risvegliami

Non c' scelta senza me
Non c' vita senza me
