Sister by Thomas Austin from Nashville Tn

Poignant lyrics, sticky melody, groovy production.

Tears stain her face as she tries to run away
Always refusing to look up
She looks away, still trying to escape
All the voices that are telling her to stop
She says she's independent, she can do this on her own
But the walls are closing in as every second passes by
I say she's worth it but it barely ses her surface
Only ripples in the tears in her eyes

And oh, my sister
As she feels the pressure
Of the world on her shoulders 
And the weight of her bones
But the past is a blister
That gets tougher over time
So I tell her what I told her
We weren't meant to be alone
We weren't meant to be alone

She touches down on what she thinks is solid ground
But the quicksand can pull off a charade
There's a way out but she's fighting all her doubt
That someone could really take her place

Hold onto me when your future stares you down
Can't you tell that there is hope in release
From all the things that'll crumble and wither away
Oh, hold onto me

And oh, my sister
As she feels the pressure
Of the world on her shoulders
And the weight of her bones
Life will miss her if she pushes love away
So I tell her what I told her
Tell her what I told her and
Oh, my sister
As she feels the pressure
Of the world on her shoulders
And the weight of her bones
I'll be your anchor so you won't drift out to sea
I'll tell you what I told you
We weren't meant to be alone
We weren't meant to be alone
