   Bm      F#
O' sister

                       Em
What's wrong with your mind?

            Em
You used to be, so strong and stable

Bm       F#                        Bm
My sister, What made you fall from grace?

               Bm
I'm sorry that I, was not there to catch you

Bm                   F#
What have the demons done?

                     Em
What have the demons done with the luminous light

          Em
That once shined from your eyes?

Bm                      F#
What makes you feel so alone?

               Em
Is it the whispering ghosts, that you fear the most?
[Chorus]
        Asus2                                 Bm
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever

Asus2
I know it's tearing you apart

                                Bm
But it's a storm you can weather
[Verse 2]
   Bm      F#
O' sister

                           Em
Those lines etched in your hands

                     Em
They're hardened and rough

       Em
Like a road map of sorrow

Bm
My sister

F#                         Bm
There is a sadness on your face

                         Bm
You're like a motherless child

                      Bm
Whose longing for comfort

                            F#
What's running through your veins

                        Em
That's causing you such pain?

                          Em
Does it have something to do

                         Bm
With the pills they gave to you?

               F#
What is eating at your soul?

                Em
Was it the whispering ghost

                         Em
That left you out in the cold?
[Chorus]
Asus2                                          Bm
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever

Asus2
I know it's tearing you apart

                              Bm
But it's a storm you can weather
