Sister
Pompeya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knocked out from your
Back seats and black snow
Red lips I read slow
Deny me wherever i'm going
Knocked down to your show
Sing loud and lay low
One more and you'll go
Design me a new kind of loving
Knocked down to your lawn
White light and white stone
Soaking to the bone
Design me a new kind of praying
Knocked out from my own
Black list and missed calls
Stay back or you fall
Deny me whatever i'm saying
I'll do anything that you need, sister
I'll lay down at your feet, sister
I'll be your hand, when you bleed, sister
Be your the only guide
I'll be around when you're down, sister
I will carry your crown, princess
All the problems are drowned, sister
When I'm on your side
It often seems that
I'm wasting my time
But it's only medicine




Defying you I feel like I committed a crime
Don't let me get absence
