City And Colour

Oh sister
Whats 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 once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Was it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Cannot last forever
I know its tearing you apart
But its a storm you can weather
­
Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like road map of sorrow
And my sister
They're is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child that's longing for comfort
Whats running through your veins?
That's causing all this pain
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you
What is eating at your soul?
Is it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold
­
But the blackness in your heart
Will not last forever
I know its tearing you apart
But its a storm you can weather
Oh sister
My sister
