Folds on Fire - Dear Brother Lyrics



Folds on Fire - Dear Brother Lyrics




Dear brother
I'm staring at a blank page
Trying to find the right words to say
Knowing you won't listen anyway
Blackwing twirls in my finger tips
Heartfelt words on a winters day
What difference could they possibly make

Dear brother
Years of pleading that you're tryin'
Thinking no one sees what you're hiding
Stashed in a suitcase or the car you're driving
Trapped in this game you created
Behind those vacant, glassy eyes
Just another thousand lies

'Cause there is just no reaching you
In your high-octane, victimized haze
Another great mind lost in liquid disarray
Chaos and carnage drift in your wake
And everyone will walk away
Yes everyone will walk away
For sanity's sake

Dear brother
Doctors say you nearly died
Heroic efforts while your family cried and
Five weeks flirting with the other side
Demise thwarted for another day
So you medicate to celebrate
As we marvel that you're even alive

'Cause there is just no reaching you
In your high-octane, victimized haze
Another great mind lost in liquid disarray
Chaos and carnage drift in your wake
And everyone will walk away
Yes everyone will walk away
For sanity's sake

Oh my brother
You hold the key in the palm of your hand
No one's gonna do the work for you
All that fear is just smothering you
Hey my brother
You've got the strength to take a stand
And let go of what's haunting you
Face the burden that's strangling you
This picture couldn't get much clearer
So will you free the man in the mirror

'Cause there is just no reaching you
In your high-octane, victimized haze
Another great mind lost in liquid disarray
Chaos and carnage drift in the wake
And everyone will walk away
Yes everyone will walk away
For sanity's sake

Dear brother
Can you find your way back today
I've said everything I know to say
To bring hope back into that pickled brain
The demons in your head will find peace
Where there's no one left to blame
What difference a simple choice can make
