Orphans

Knock, knock is someone at the door?
There's no fairytale 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
Knock, knock is someone at the door?
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
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
Knock, knock is someone at the door?
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
