lyrics

One step back but two steps forward.
I must dare,
My woes are silenced by them.
(Home again)
My heavy heart sighs relief just as I see her now.

One fits the other, like a glove.
I'd never wish to separate.
None of us need to wait any longer.
At last, one happy family.

Welcome, take a breath.
I know, I know
This is exactly what it looks like.
I just went for a ride, but then,
I know what you might be thinking.

The dust will scatter
As the girls take
Their first steps in their new landscape.
Grief will cover.

Before you say anything,
Please let me explain.
There's so much we can do,
As long as we're willing to take
What is ours. What is rightfully ours.
There's so much we can do
With these wilting flowers.

Joy is contagious, let it spread to our home.
This gift,
We would be dense to refuse it.
My intellect seems to shadow my spirit blindly.
I always listen to instinct, and mine is screaming.
I'm depicting her gleaming face.
Hold my hand and
Ignore the implications

.
Don't tell me that you can't LOOK AT ME.
I'm trying my best to keep things straight.
Just hold their hands.
Hold their hands and run.

Run rampant in the gardens that others have preserved
And given birth to.
Don't you want to?
 Don't you want it?
Can't you stomach the lie?

Every passing car, unsuspecting.
Just an ordinary day for the ordinary man.
This calm surrounds this chaos.
Even for the taker; He's sure he's done right.
He knows there's no witness in sight (No Witnesses).

We were given a homewrecker.
You've got to be kidding me.

Don't be so weak.
Come to your senses.
No matter how long this lasts,
It's better than we've ever had.

The dust will scatter
As the girls take
Their first steps in
Their new landscape.

The fruits of his labor will be seen before long
Skies have darkened now.
All this buzzing that surrounds him
Dampened by his resolve.

I haven't harmed anyone,
They were left outside on the curb.

Try to remember what it was like for us
When we first found out.
Don't you remember my eyes? Don't you?
Don't you remember the spark?

It was the only thing keeping them going.
The last gasp of a dying garden.

With every street I pass, I writhe with a passion that can’t be matched.
I’ve got enough burning from my eyes
To light the way.
Our father has filled the seats at our table.
So this is what he's done.

On this road I never thought I’d find myself here.
The thought of being alone,
plays tricks with my mind.
And I can’t take it.
(Now they're alive)
So what do you say?

I just cant take it
So what do you say?

These are the first words they'll hear from their Mother.

"Look, listen to me, this is what we've wanted.
This is our happiness. This is bliss.
No, no they won't. They're still impressionable.
I just want to be happy.
It isn't too late. I can fix this.
Look, there might be a chance to salvage this mess.
Do you really think?
It might be better than you'd ever expect.

We might be better than they'd ever expect.”
