Brother's Blood

(Album: I Will Become - 2016)

Dear brother, it kills me to keep this inside
It kills me
It kills me to separate from you

Don't always assume the worst of me

If love is an extension of my own selfishness
Then I viewed you like a personal golden crown
They say family comes first
Yet I've left you to the fields to perish

I know I can't save you
I can't do this anymore
We are an endless war

Dear brother, I can't save you
Can't change your mind after all we've been through
All I ever wanted was to save your soul
Dear brother, what have we come to?
Forgive me now I just have to tell you
This love comes from the most sincere of places

Was it from mother's disconnection or the family's divorce?
I have no answers. Do you think they feel remorse?

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta change your mind

God, save my brother's soul
Show me a way to make him whole

Don't leave him behind
This brother of mine

I know I can't save you
I can't do this anymore
We are an endless war

Dear brother, I can't save you
Can't change your mind after all we've been through
All I ever wanted was to save your soul
Dear brother, what have we come to?
Forgive me now I just have to tell you
This love comes from the most sincere of places

Brother, how could there be a God
Who watches his children burn?
I tried to believe but my eyes can't see
The one you follow so damn blindly

Forgive my wayward actions. These words come from concern
From dust we came and dust we return
I know there's more to life. Won't you take a look around
Will we burn in hell or simply rot in the ground?
We are both one in the same despite our belief
My soul is safer without these false beliefs
Time heals all wounds. Time heals all wounds
We are bound by blood

Brother, I'll carry your cross for you until my bones break
You said yourself, "It's never too late to change."
