With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind

I thought about the ghosts that we left behind

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"



With fire in your eyes, may it never go out

The sweetness of your tears makes it feel like night

I see no escape from the roles we always play

What do we have to prove on this judgment day?



You're mine now, but you're not my sister

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

You're mine now, but you're not my child

You're mine now, but you're not my slave



You're missing the whole point; you're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life; the game's not over yet

I do not own your soul; don't want you in a cage

I only want your heart to find a special place



You're mine now, but you're not my sister

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

You're mine now, but you're not my child

You're mine now, but you're not my slave



With sand in my heart and clouds in my head

I thought about us both and the life we led

From pages in a book and pictures on a screen

We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream



One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet

But I am not a king; please, don't worship me 

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"



You're mine now, but you're not my sister

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

You're mine now, but you're not my child

You're mine now, but you're not my slave
