Your Best from Siren by Yea Big

Wake up sleepyheads, it's time to rise.
You must go to school and learn to read and write.
Now don't miss the bus, or else we'll have to drive.
We said okay, but we both know that's a lie.
Our half-grown bodies only make you sad.
You're the only reason, we're alive.

And you did your best, we know you really tried.
Your life is now a million times as bright.
And you're not alone when you're asleep at night.
We know you do your best, we know you really try.

You helped pack our things, and quickly say goodbye.
Your life begins anew. We barely know what you do but that's alright.
But when we hear your scream, we know it's not alright.
We tried to run, but did not get there in time.
The torn up body of one you once knew was hidden from our sight.

Well we did our best, you know we really tried.
Holding her, you whimpered and you cried.
And your screams they still keep me up at night.
We did our best, you know we really tried.

Mother with your saintly soul.
You've given us all we know.
But now it's time to let you go.
we all must live our lives.
Things you've told us all along.
Afraid to leave us all alone.
Terrified to hold that dying child.

We know you did your best, we know you really tired.
But in the end, everybody dies.
So before you give your final kiss goodnight,
We know you did your best, we know you really tried.
We know you did your best, we know you really tried.
