lyrics
The night approaches just like a tiger
and I can feel those neon eyes come to stare me down
I’ve got to run, just to survive her
the unwritten word is never heard once you’ve hit the ground
and there’s no sun without the father
I have one of blood and so many more of heart
and there’s no joy without the mother
she’s holding us together, though it tears her apart
to this secret family I hold on
time falls as heavy as a bible
and I can hear those sacred souls screaming from this burning barn
when I was young, I was cain’d but I was able
I never meant my brother any harm
to all the sister of the disappeared
I would give you my hand if you give me your ears
to all the faithfully departed
who remind the earning blind all they own is time
to this secret family, I hold on
and all these children of this secret family
they are all the thoughts that have given move to me
my son trust, my daughter grace
the child self-love, the child self-hate
each was a birth of great pride, great hope
and to all my children in turn
I have given my life
to this secret family, I hold on
to this secret family, I hold on
and hold on tight
and I can feel those neon eyes come to stare me down
I’ve got to run, just to survive her
the unwritten word is never heard once you’ve hit the ground
and there’s no sun without the father
I have one of blood and so many more of heart
and there’s no joy without the mother
she’s holding us together, though it tears her apart
to this secret family I hold on
time falls as heavy as a bible
and I can hear those sacred souls screaming from this burning barn
when I was young, I was cain’d but I was able
I never meant my brother any harm
to all the sister of the disappeared
I would give you my hand if you give me your ears
to all the faithfully departed
who remind the earning blind all they own is time
to this secret family, I hold on
and all these children of this secret family
they are all the thoughts that have given move to me
my son trust, my daughter grace
the child self-love, the child self-hate
each was a birth of great pride, great hope
and to all my children in turn
I have given my life
to this secret family, I hold on
to this secret family, I hold on
and hold on tight
