Mama's eyes are quiet storms,

She flinches when the thunder forms.

Daddy walks with heavy shoes,

Dady walks with heavy shoes.

Ghosts of war he never could lose

Ghosts of war he never could lose (could lose) could lose (could lose)~,

They whisper love but speak in sighs,

Hold me close but never try.

Hold me close but never try.

A cradle built with caution ropes,

Hold me close but never try.

A cradle built with caution ropes,

Afraid to hope (afraid to hope)

We're living in a house we built on shadows,

Where silence grows like vines through the windows.

I'm screaming for a light, screaming for a light, but no one hears (no one hears),

Drowning in the weight of unshed tears.

And no one knows the lock is on our door,

We're the storm we're the storm we're searching for we're searching for~(we're searching for.)

I point at Grandma's cold embrace,

Like maybe she's the root, the base

I blame her rules, I curse her name,

Like maybe she's the root, the base

I blame her rules, I curse her name,

But I wear her wounds just the (same)same~.

Papa's past is painted red,

With all the words he never said.

He wants to love, I see it clear—

He wants to love, I see it clear—

But love feels dangerous, love feels dangerous when it's near (it's near~).

We're living in a house we built on shadows,

Where silence grows like vines through the windows.

I'm screaming for a light, screaming for a light, but no one hears (no one hears),

Drowning in the weight of unshed te~ars.

And no one knows the lock is on our door~,

We're the storm we're the storm we're searching for we're searching for~(we're searching for).

We pass the pain like family heirlooms,

Smile for pictures in fractured rooms.

Each one thinking they're the one who's right (who's right),

We pass the pain like family heirlooms,

Smile for pictures in fractured rooms.

Each one thinking they're the one who's right,

While we all fade out of sight.
