Another bridge has been set flame to
Another corner of this tarp has hit the ground
(Without making a single sound)
How can I grow another limb?
To keep you up, to take you in?
How did we end up in this position?
I'm your brother, I'm out of touch
I am your shoulder, I'm your crutch
I am the keystone failing both of us
(Seems when) One stands tall
Then another falls
And to itself calls attention
Shifting feet and hands
For a better chance
Of softening the blow
Another bond has been neglected
Another corner of this tarp has been left to drown
(Without making a single sound)
How can I make you understand?
It's not neglect, it's my two hands
Holding you up as best they can
But I've got three corners left to save
And have my own path yet to pave
But I'll fold and carry this tarp all the way
(Seems when) One stands tall
Then another falls
And to itself calls attention
Shifting feet and hands
For a better chance
Of softening the blow
It's not that I have pushed
From above, a gust of wind
Has let you down
It's not that we have turned
Our backs, it's just the
Storm is closing in
