Lyrics

Origins

Sensitive heart, you're doomed from the start
Meant to play the penitent part
Inquisitive mind, you're destined to find
Tempted fate and knowledge divine
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
View in there a pitied pair
Denoted by a scene unfair
Will you make my children bear
The consequences everywhere?
Imminent you seem to be
A picture of fragility
What is it that you think of me?
Is it a woman that you see?
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
Is it so hard to forgive
The way that we have been made to live?
How much is required to set things right?
Have you confused your power with mine?
Oh whoa oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh
