[Ave Pariah]

O' father I've missed you all them years
When in the dark room I laid awake
Coming out, o' the blinding light
Filled my heart with such fright
Drew me a face and yet I never saw yours
I stood and waited 'till
Out of the room flew a crow
Which laid a stone in my hand
In a whisper the stone said

[Chorus]
O' father I don't want to know you
If you leave now, I'll stay here and O'
O' please do close the window

I spelled your name over and over again
Translated every dream I searched for you in vain
Running in circle, sweaty sheets screamed away the pain
Have you seen the growling stone that used to lay by the lighthouse?
I once knew her soul, and it searched for mine
I laid by the sea with the stone in my hand
Drank every crushing wave till my demons were slain
And the stone whispered to me again

[Chorus]
O' father I don't want to know you
If you leave now, I'll stay here and O'
O' please do close the window

The stone took me by the hand, shone a path or so I thought
I ran, we screamed and fought, I threw the stone
Laid grounds and built myself a house
I sharpened my teeth and ground the floor
Angry with myself and hungry for your smell
I was missing something yet what I could not tell
Doused in gazoline,the flames licked my face
And the flames said to me

[Chorus]
O' father I don't want to know you
If you leave now, I'll stay here and O'
O' please do close the window

The water was running, O' I was so thirsty
Searching for an exit, a silence, some sleep
White knuckles grasping for more, a tear in my fist
Holding to a moment -I once failed to keep,
I burned down the house for at first the door I could not see
Broken pieces at my feet and a glass on my mind
For years I crawled in ashes, O' what a feast
Till the last demon slain softly washed away the pain

[Chorus]
O' father I don't want to know you
If you leave now, I'll stay here and O'
O' please do close the window

O' father I thought I needed you
But I crawled out the room through the window
O' father don't you show your face to me
My demons lay at my feet and mom is my widow

O' father I don't want to know you
I'll stay here and O' before you go
Of Please do close the window

O' father I don't want to know you
I'll stay here and O' before you go
Please do close the window
