My mother is lonely
My father left early yesterday
My sister is tired
Her lover's a liar

And I, I am like my mother
But I'm like my father, too
And I, I'll take their answers
Paint them as something new

My mother is lonely
My father speaks only to himself
My sister's in danger
Her lover's a stranger

And I, I'm like my mother
But I'm like my father too
And I, I'll build you castles
Then I'll knock them through

What are we without our chains?
I will carry on this name
What are we without our chains?
You and I are just the same

And I, I'm like my mother
But I'm like my father
And I, I'll build you castles
Then I'll knock them through
My mother is lonely
My father left early yesterday
