Lyric

Sister sleeps in candlelight

In warmth so soft, so bright

At the table, hands held tight

Love’s embrace in golden night

I lay in shadows cold and bare

A nameless voice, a silent prayer

Same blood, same name, yet why am I not there?

If my mother’s face was not the one you used to know

Would you still call me your own?

Or am I just a story left untold?

Papa, can you hear my cries?

If I'm good, will you arrive?

If I smile through shattered skies

Will the heavens grant me time?

Love remains, though torn apart—Papa

I still keep you in my heart

Told to never speak your name

To hide my tears, to bear my shame

For only wicked children claim the love that never truly came

I played the doll, I played the saint

Held my pain behind the paint

Yet angels whispered

"Fate won’t wait."

Bound in thorns, my sins ignite

Wings are torn in holy light

Crucified by my own past

Hollowed out, yet love still lasts

You never came—but that’s all right

You're the only thing inside

Papa, can you hear my cries?

If I'm good, will you arrive?

If I fade to endless night

Will the heavens turn to light?

Love remains, though torn apart—Papa

I still keep you in my heart

Love remains... though torn apart

Papa, I still keep you... in my heart
