revanchism

sister sister

i know you hate to hear me sing

sister sister

i know it makes your skin crawl

to see my father mouth

do anything at all

sister sister

you used to dance as a child

sister sister

i never sang back then

until the night you stopped dancing

sister sister

i picked up what you dropped

picked it up and ran

sister sister

sister sister

the boy is so silent

there'll be no singing

around the home

sister sister
