[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
How does this happen?
How does this happen?
How does this happen?

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
How does this happen?
How does this happen?
How does this happen?

[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
How does this happen?
How does this happen?
How does this happen?

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
How does this happen?

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
These victim tears
A song from my past
To twenty-nine years
Yes, we are free at last
We can unlash
Ourselves from that mast
After twenty-nine years
