lyrics

SIOBHAN
I mixed up the world of science
And you would be my guide
We didn't always share opinions
But were always on one side

Vulnerable, courageous
Invincible combined
Complete to perfection
Like two bodies and one mind

CHORUS
Perfect life we lived the dream
The answer lies within
Quantum riddles from beyond
The universes’ skin

Perfect life we lived the dream
The answer lies within
Human flaws and history
And lineage of kin

SIOBHAN
Just when we thought we knew it all
That we could close the file
The birth of our daughter
Put those idle thoughts on trial

Whatever knowledge we had
It dwindled to a „why“
When routine-checkups showed us
That she would never die

BRENT
Then came a time
When she felt sorry for herself
She lost her mind
Then came a time
When she was happy for her daughter
For her child

SIOBHAN
Perfect life we lived the dream
The answer lies within
Quantum riddles from beyond
The universes’ skin

Perfect lie I lived a dream
Behind that bright facade
Choices that I should have had
Denied right from the start

SIOBHAN
She inherited the l-gene from her mother, well, from me
And that must mean my whole life long, the answer lay within
My parents surely knew it, but I was never told
It all had changed now that I knew I’d never die as well
