Sister Lyrics

Sister

She left us tonight

Put her dreams on the doorstep

Didn't bother the lights

There were ninety-nine reasons

Number none was the right

We've been defeated

Now we don't have to fight

Mother

You put your head down to rest

I saw how they found her

I remember that dress

You said you moved like no other

As you judged from your throne

Well, you ruled without power

And you were dancing alone

Steps too steep for taking

Solutions drowned and flushed

Those emotions that needed shaking

Were never touched

Daughter

It's your turn on the dice

Walk into the slaughter

Where men become mice

I said you would meet her

Unintentional lies

You'll never see her

I see her in your eyes

Sentences never spoken

Some words come out as such

Conversations that are silently broken

Can say so much

We grew up surrounded by reason, without rhyme

For us there was always love, but never time

You said we'd look after each other, but time would tell

Two years after our mother you died as well
