lyrics

I sunk my eyes in static
Who taught me how to see it
Now there's no sign of her at hand
So I’m through looking at it
My head is splitting trying
To read the name that she abandoned

I’m lying when I say it doesn’t mean that much to me
Glad in my way to see her struggle free.

O my sister
My only sister

You twisted free, resisted
While I just stayed here wishing
And you don't think I understand
How your stockade’s in splinters
Your childhood’s bitter winter
No love could possibly withstand

I’m lying when I say it doesn’t mean that much to me
Glad in my way to see you struggle free.

O my sister
My only sister

Pinned down but unexamined
I held your example, sampled
Through static eyes and compromise
They never saw it coming
They never held a candle
But I never wondered - I knew why.
