O' sister, what's wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister, what made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you
What have the demons done? What have the demons done
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes?
What makes you feel so alone?
Is it the whispering ghosts that you fear the most?
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart but it's a storm you can weather
O' sister, those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like road map of sorrow
My sister, there is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort
What's running through your veins that's causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart but it's a storm you can weather
O' sister, my sister
O' sister, my sister
