Heavy all the branches Hanging from my fucked up family’s tree And heavy was my father A stoek man of pride and privacy
And I don’t care much for wishful thinking Is heavy as I breathe Because I don’t believe in second chances Is heavy as I live
As powerfull as a man he was Pride my father never was of me
I did it for survival But i look like the asshole anyaway You eat up all my breadcrumbs Now I’m lost alone inside your cage Among six billion people I want the ones who never won and meet I’m not one for religion But I can’t see to ditch this energy
And I don’t care much for wishful thinking Is heavy as I breathe Because I don’t believe in second chances Is heavy as I live And I don’t care much for wishful thinking I can’t breathe
Home, so far from home So far to go And we've only just begun And home, every lie we told Is written in stone Every lie we wrote on our bones
And hold on, there's nothing to pack We know we're not coming back
Every promise that we broke Is sewn to our clothes Now we are pinned to the wind I suppose Every falling flake of snow has to give in But we spin and we spin and we spin
Hold on, there's nothing to pack Lay your heart out, we're not coming back
Hold on, there's nothing to pack Lay your heart out, we're not coming back We're not coming back
Grandma, my sleepless know
That you bring me some strong drink
Straighten out the pots and set them close outside
For when my belly
For when my little belly speaks
Grandma, there's air beneath my bed
And it whispers
And it whispers when I rest
With hemmed skirts
And salt and vinegar, vinegar
And water closely
Water closely underhead
Grandma, the water is rising
By now this hair has gotten green
I'll be your swimming fodder starlet
When you walk safely, safely
Over me
Grandma, my hands have wondered
And my legs
My little legs are getting weak
Bed, lend me your wispy frame
And guard my powers
Guard my precious powers in its gate
Grandma, I've been unruly
In my dreams
And with my speech
Drill little holes into my eyelids
That I might see you
That I might see you when I sleep
Grandmother, the water is rising
By now this hair has gotten green
I'll be your swimming fodder starlet
And you walk safely, safely
Over me
A scream, a shout far in the distance Maybe the first or second floor And curtains colour in the windows Never seen behind closed doors A silent sage behind the lightness Domestic harmony for sure Now send the mirrors of the marriage Outside a world she'll never know
And as I see through the building I'm falling straight into A thousand broken mirrors I can't hide And outside the bright lights Can't hide the pain inside And I've broken a thousand mirrors Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time
Loving your children with a passion Protecting them at any cost Taking the only course of action There's no more bridges left to cross Who are the ones who are the guilty? Who are the ones who wear the scars? We must not leave our sisters bleeding We sing this song for civil action
And as I stare through that window I'm falling straight into A thousand broken mirrors I can't hide And outside the bright lights What hide the pain inside And I've broken a thousand mirrors Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time
And as I stare through that window I'm falling straight into A thousand broken mirrors I can't hide And outside the bright lights Can't hide the pain inside And I've broken a thousand mirrors Now it's time Now it's time
My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight And I keep it like a burning Longing from a distance
I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
Sadness is a blessing Sadness is a pearl Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl
These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight I dream of times when you were mine so I Can't keep it like a haunting heart beating Close to mine
Sadness is a blessing Sadness is a pearl Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl
I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?
Sadness is a blessing Sadness is a pearl Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Sadness is a blessing Sadness is a pearl Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl Sadness is a blessing Sadness is a pearl Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Sadness is my boyfriend Oh, sadness I'm your girl Oh, sadness I'm your girl Oh, sadness I'm your girl
She used to get her kicks from a fall to the floor But now she's always wasted A total looker, but she's jaded The kind of shivering wreck that I adore I can't offer you a rescue I can tell you what I'd do
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly And tell my father that I need him back again And if these words won't drop from your lips I will be your freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past And self-help might help when it makes us laugh Only finding questions in answers You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters
She only finds her love in a downtown score Consumption makes her stronger You're the sweetest anaconda The kind of lack of respect that I adore I can't offer you a rescue But when you've lost all that you have left to lose
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly And tell my father that I need him back again And if these words won't drop from your lips I will be your freudian slip
As sharp as a knife and as blunt as a wheel You be my calm, I'll be your pneumatic drill And what we'll never want, we'll always need Right now we need some pop psychology To keep us up-beat
So tell your mother that you love her dearly And tell your father your won't lock him out again And if these words won't drop from your lips I will be your freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past And self-help might help when it makes us laugh Only finding questions in answers You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters You and I are just walking disasters
The suburbs they are dreaming They're a twinkle in her eye She's been feeling frisky since her husband said goodbye She wears a low cut t-shirt Runs a little B&B She's most accomodating when she's in her lingerie Wife-swapping is your future You know that it would suit you
Yes they're stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming And then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be Going on another bender
The suburbs they are sleeping But he's dressing up tonight She likes a man in uniform He likes to wear it tight They're on the lovers' sofa They're on the patio And when the fun is over Watch themselves on video The neighbours may be staring But they are just past caring
Yes they're stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming And then you Stop dreaming Time to time you know You're going on another bender Yes there must be more to life Than stereotypes
Wife-swapping is your future You know that it would suit you
Yes they're stereotypes There must be more to life All your life you're dreaming And then you stop dreaming From time to time you know you should be Going on another bender Yes there must be more to life Than stereotypes All your life you're dreaming And then you stop dreaming From time to time you know You should go on another bender Before you come to an end
Understand the things I say Don't turn away from me 'Cause I've spent half my life out there You wouldn't disagree Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me? Do you like me standing there? Do you notice? Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me? Does anyone care? Unhappiness where's when I was young And we didn't give a damn 'Cause we were raised To see life as fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she hold me Did she hold me when I was out there My father, my father he liked me Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Understand what I've become It wasn't my design And people everywhere think Something better than I am But I miss you, I miss 'Cause I liked it, 'Cause I liked it When I was out there Do you know this ? D'you know You did not find me, you did not find Does anyone care? Unhappiness was when I was young And we didn't give a damn 'Cause we were raised To see life as fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she hold me Did she hold me when I was out there My father, my father he liked me Oh he liked me, does anyone care? Does anyone care?
