Brotherly Love

(album: Songs To Scream At The Sun - 2008)

Left with images of you
Pouring from my eyes
You young, you here
Day dawning, eyes wide

Just images, images
All that's left that I can find
Like water from a cactus
In the desert of my mind

O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins

In a room that holds you
Like a guilt-ridden paralyzing cell
No calls, no mail
No visitors for you when you're in hell

Forced hellos, rushed goodbyes
And best wishes for you in the meantime
My face seen as often as God's
Can let guilt have its way of owning you like a dog

May to March, March to May
The days fall with the promises I make
Like water from a faucet
Into the sink of your faith

O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood
O' brother, you leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins

We always seem to fall with only words to hold
We always seem to fall with only photos to hold
We always seem to fall with only memories to hold
We always seem to fall without family to hold
