Lyrics:
Sister
Stay with me now
They’ll leave you be
If you don’t make a sound
Underground
We’ll burrow down
Away from all the walls
They built around
Us how
Can we drown them out
When they shout
When they shout so loud
I see you fading
My love such a frail thing
Under the eye of those who presuppose your fate
In limbo we wait
Out of sight out of mind
And these walls we’re behind
Are a fortress, unless
We escape
Sister, it’s time to wake
Let’s break out & fly
Let’s leave it all behind
This asylum of the mind
We tried
We tried
We tried
But the walls were too tall
And we are so small
We are nothing
We are nothing
Oh why are we nothing at all?
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
We are nothing
Oh why are nothing at all
Sister
Stay with me now
They’ll leave you be
If you don’t make a sound
Underground
We’ll burrow down
Away from all the walls
They built around
Us how
Can we drown them out
