Cover art for Sister lyrics by City and Colour

wow this song hits home for me. my sister entered the hospital a few days ago because of a heroin relapse and i, too, have battled with heroin addiction. she has dealt with so much, hearing voices, being bipolar, losing a very close friend to an OD under her watch, our parents' divorce when we were younger, a dad who wasn't there. she had over 2 years clean while on methadone, then slowly, and far away from us, she slid back into the dark. and i can't say i don't feel guilty and responsible for her relapse. i believe the 'lines etched in your hand' are track marks, to me. she and i used to be so close and now she hates me and our relationship is absolute shit. i just heard this song for the first time today, and it's crazy how it's like a puzzle piece the way it fits, the way i just want her to live through this and be okay and come back to the people that love her. i can't bear to see her gone forever.
