For My Brother

It would simply say everything
If you would take a pen
And write my name on a friend
Who never cared to let me in

Then take a fast ravine that for
Three years swimming straight upstream
And the wind
The wind will drag me down in the end

You live inside my wall
And I, I reach back and hit you harder than God falls
Oh, Christ, amen, amen, amen

You're such a line to break and I'm
I’m so scared to make another mistake in the end
But I just want to be happy again and I am

Until it all falls down
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
And with a broken heart, and a straight face
I'm saying, brother, help me

It's just a natural phase, that I
I go through and then it's taken away
And then bam, bam, I'm fixed (I’m fixed, I’m fixed)

But I'm in another place to be and I
I can't sleep without the thought of me
Being so, so damn sick (I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick)

But take this song, take this song away
Until it all falls down
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
And with a broken heart, and a straight face

And he says, reach for the girl, reach for the girl and hold her close
Believe, you can shine when you're silver
And I promise you gold
I promise you gold

And whenever you're dark inside
Don't let go, no, don’t let go
Remember there's rain
And there's candy and Christmasy winter snow

Remember, I love you the same
And I'll strangle your pain
And he tells me to sing, and I sing, and I sing
For my brother who keeps me sane
And tells me everything will be okay

I'm so alone
God, I’m so alone
I’m so alone
I’m alone
