Brother, The Cloud

I had a brother

But now my brother is gone

I search the sky for a

Glimpse of his blue eyes

And there I find

His image in the clouds

If I could wish, wish it away

I would bleed out my knees and pray

If I could give, all that I have

To bring him back today

These are but dreams

As sad as it seems

I'm always wide awake

Understand it was not

Easy for my friend

Oh promises

Even to yourself cannot be kept

Enlarge the hole in my heart

Rising river in the dark

Erodes the shore

Till our shores were far apart

If I could wish, wish it away

I would bleed out my knees and pray

If I could give, all that I have

To bring him back today

These are but dreams

As sad as it seems

They never go away

There’s no previous reference

For this level of pain

I can’t feign indifference

I can’t look away

The years, they go by

The hurt I still hide

If I look okay, it’s just the outside

There’s no previous reference

For this level of pain

Oh I could hear him sing

If I could wish, wish it away

I would bleed out my knees and pray

If I could give, all that I have

To bring back yesterday

These are but dreams

As sad as it seems

They never go away

These are but dreams

As sad as it seems

I'm always wide awake

And I would not wish upon you

But should you ever leave this earth

Before me, I doubt this highly

Do for me, what I’d do for you

Put your arms around my friend

Put your arms around my friend

Put your arms around my brother, my friend

Say for me, for me

Fuck you

Fuck you

Fuck you

What are friends?

What are friends for?

What are friends?

What are friends?

What are friends for?
