lyrics

A BROTHER TO HEAR ME OUT
Written in September 2009

I can’t sleep
I’ve got to wait ‘til the night fills my eyes
I’m gonna pray that it saves my life
and in the morning...
I may see
Another point but it might be the lens
You turn me on but you act like a friend
Is that allowed?

Oh, give me just five minutes
‘til I get it past my mouth
Oh, give me just five minutes
I need a brother to hear me out
I need a brother to hear me out

I feel your blood is rising
I want your bottom line
I hear the motor’s started
You’ve got it in your eyes
Tell me something that sounds exciting
I’ll take it on the chin
I see your head is turning
Another ticket and we’ll try and win again

I can’t breath
My skin is burning and the sun hurts my eyes
I hear the kids playing games outside
But we’re in here
I can’t swim
I’m made of stone and my hands are tied
I sent a bottle but it sank outside
I’m holding on

I hear the distant laughter
From a far off source
I see the shadows moving
And the voice is yours
But I can’t make magic
And your name’s still here
I’ll keep talking long enough
‘Til you… disappear
