Brother Bryan

[Verse 1] 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'll let me speak of bearings undone, silver hair in the sun We are only 30% dead and our parents go to sleep early We destroy all of our esteem and the sunlight starts to shine through the trees [Verse 2] 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 A person cannot live without sleep And you can't hold up a story so heavy We tell it so rarely [Outro] And in this place I think about you The spirits and veins that you run through And in this place I think about you
