Brother
Quietly you wake me
Quietly we walk
Quietly you tell me
That now I mustn't talk
Quickly we run
Quickly we hide
Quickly you ask me
"Please, brother, don't cry."
Numbly he grabs me
Numbly I scream
Numbly these voices
Take yet another dream
Wistfully I walk outside
Wistfully I hope
Wistfully I wonder if
I'll go by these old ropes
Helplessly I'm pulled back
Helplessly I cry
Helplessly I wish that he
Would simply let me die
Slyly now I sneak outside
Slyly now I run
Slyly now I take these pills
And let myself go numb
Smiling as I'm fading out
Smiling on the ground
Smiling because I'm not normal
I'll come back safe and sound
Rushing you escaped to us
Rushing up to me
Rushing now I pull away
You hurt me, can't you see?
Now I decide to walk away
From your resentful stare
And to myself I must wonder
If you still really care
You always say that you are not a toy
You can't be put on shelves
But looking back on all he's done
You're only hurting yourself
You always walk away from me
To be with that damned Dane
I don't think that you ever thought
That you'd drive me insane
You asked me if I was sad
I say that it's okay
But you're always hurting me
Each and every day
My friend, you're such a hypocrite
You say that you're still there
Again I'll have to ask myself,
Is it true you care?
I'm just across the hall from you
Sometimes I wonder why
But I think that it's all his fault
That you don't hear me cry
Maybe I should just give up
It seems that your love has been tore
And I know that he already won
This painful game of war
And I still love you, I really do
Each day I hurt myself
Because I know you don't care that
You've put me on the shelf
