Sister

Damned if I do and damned if I don't
I told you I loved you, I wish that I hadn't
You don't seem the same
I guess I know you too well
I knew I was falling
But I didn't know how low I fell

Sister, oh, sister, who told you these lies?
I haven't got time to teach you what it could be like
To pull you from this child

You don't smell the stink
But your mind is foul to bend
You think I'm all yours
And I wish that I was dead
The words were not your own
It was something your mother said
Umbilical bloodline, mind control, sponsor writing checks

Sister, oh, sister, I thought it'd be nice
That thing I felt when we first met just will not suffice
The glimmer in your eyes

I love you, sister
I love how you condescend
I thought so, sister
But I cannot pretend
It's hard to believe this blood
This is unhealthy love
It's hard to believe this love
This is unhealthy blood

Sister, oh, sister, you thought you're so wise
Judgmental vision coming from the blindest eye
All logic you defy
