Brother Bryan

I said to you on the night that we met, "I am not well"
 Our habits secrete to the sidewalk and street, our civic hell
 And we covet the dark, share a cab to the park
 And you let me
 Speak of bearings undone, silver hair in the sun
 We are only 30 percent dead and our parents go to sleep early
 We destroy all of our esteem
 And the sunlight starts to shine through the trees
 
 ♪
 And the noise on this block keeps my mind interlocked and unfastened
 And the struggle sheds skin, heavy breath is a deadly assassin
 My sister's eyes flood like rivers of wine in your absence
 So we echo each song to which you'd sing along
 A circuit hymn and we'll sing it again
 And we'll smoke 'til our pockets are empty
 Person cannot live without sleep
 And you can't hold up a story so heavy
 We tell it so rarely
 ♪
 And in this place, I think about you
 The spirits and veins that you run through
 And in this place, I think about you
