Pale Blue Dot - The Receiving End Of Sirens

I watched my guilt blossom before me

Like a tender shoot

With thirsty roots

Oh, how my garden grows

The shameful seeds I’ve sown

I watched its stems sprawl above me

Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me

But I can live with it

I’ll live in it

There’s no place like home

Stretch your arms around me

Cast your cloud above me

Curtained, kept, and covered in your solemn vow,

«'Ever you go, I’ll follow»

Grow your roots within me

Drink of me you thirsty seed

I cower, cringe, and tremble at your solemn vow,

«'Ever you go, I’ll follow you»

There’s no place like home

(I can learn to live with this

If I can learn to live in it)

(Heavied we’re so heavy)

If she only knew just how sorry I was

(Heavied, we’re so heavy)

If she only knew just how sorry I was

If she only knew…

Sticks and stones won’t break my bones

It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder

Sticks and stones won’t break my bones

I can live with it

If I can learn to live with this

If I can learn to live
