Orphans Lyrics by The Agonist

Orphans

2019

[Intro]
Knock, knock
Is someone at the door?
Knock, knock
Is someone at the door?

[Verse 1]
There's no fairy tale to read here
No damsels in distress
Just two sisters that were caught in a mess
There's no wicked stepmother or fairy godmother
No unpleasant day waiting to be saved
Knock, knock
Is someone at the door?
Hush little girl, we can wait a little more
The demons you fear crawling in the night
I wouldn't let you anywhere near their sight
Hush little girl, don't say a word
Sister's gonna get you a mockingbird
Hush little girl, don't say a word
Sister's gonna, gonna take care of you

[Refrain]
Knock, knock
Is someone at the door?

[Chorus]
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking on my door

[Verse 2]
Hush now little girl, for there's nothing left to fear
Open your eyes, you will see things crystal clear
There's no magical bean that'll send you towards the skies
Just a rusty skeleton ladder you will have to climb
Trust me little sister, you are stronger than you realize
So go on, it is time
Time for you to open your eyes
As we go through our lives pretending
There's no difference in what we decide
As we go through our lives pretending
There's no difference in wrong or right

[Refrain]
Knock, knock
Is someone at the door?

[Chorus]
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking
I have always lived in this castle
No one will come knocking on my door (Not anymore)
No one, no one will come knocking (Not anymore)
No one will come knocking on my door
