lyrics

Daughter, daughter, it breaks my heart to see you crying
Daughter, daughter, I know how hard you are trying
Endlessly devoting every minute to the reckless pursuit of a cause
Hopelessly putting your whole self in it; hopelessly lost
I hope you find your way

Brother, brother, I can't see you against your bruises
Brother, brother, I know it's your power to choose this
Endlessly avoiding every second that you have to recall what you've done
Hopelessly recording every wreck and who you want to become
I'm sure you'll be renewed

Sister, sister, your world's become shadows and sessions
Sister, sister, you can't find the meaning, the lesson
Endlessly pursuing all the laughter of a life that was ripped from your hands
Hopelessly finding nothing that you're after but a darkness you can't understand
For now, just stay with me

Oh my friends, I cannot see the beauty that's in this
No romance; just the long nights spent screaming in sadness
The days grow long; the nights even longer
But they pass like the rolling of tides
We're the broken, the wretched, the wanderers
We deserve every moment of life
And one day these shattered bones will shine
One day these shattered bones will shine
