29 Years lyrics

No, Medusa was not always a gorgon

No, my witch isn't always benevolent

She used me, an unwitting accomplice

On her weapon my fingerprints

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

For twenty nine years

I've been searching for you

Twenty nine years

You, a most elusive truth

These tattered bits of me

I've been piecing

For twenty nine years

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

So then, Athena wanted revenge

She let Poseidon get away with it

Just like my own witch almost did

Rock tied, ready to drown my marriage

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

For twenty nine years

I've been searching for you

Twenty nine years

You, a most elusive truth

These tattered bits of me

I've been piecing

For twenty nine years

(How does this happen?)

Walk with me in your bare feet

In the sugar sand

Time to diffuse

Bombs I planted

In our bed

We can heal with forgiveness

In the sugar sand

My friend

For twenty nine years

I've been searching for you

Twenty nine years

You, a most elusive truth

These tattered bits of me

I've been piecing

For twenty nine years

These victim tears

A song from my past

To twenty nine years

Yes, we are free at last

We can unleash

Ourselves from that mast

After twenty nine years
