THE LIFERS

Lyrics

I finally told my sister
after five years of
almost but shameful
We cried together,
holding hands both cold
but it’s not much easier
Tell me did you hold it in
hold it in,
or tell it like a hero?
Does your sister know?
Does it get easier?
And I hope it haunts you
like it haunts me too
Does it shake you,
at least sometimes?
Does it wake you,
at least once a night?
And could you mend me
by saying it right?
How could you say it right?
Lend me a river
to run you dry,
make me a windstorm
I’ll terrorize the sky,
plant me a garden
to grow me back
And I hope it haunts you
like it haunts me too
