Blue October - For My Brother

It would simply say everything if you would
Take a pen and write my name on a friend,
Who never cared to let me in.

Then take a fast ravine that for
Three years swimming straight upstream and the wind,
The wind will drag me down in the end.

You live inside my wall and I,
I reach back, hit you harder than God falls.
Christ! Amen, amen, amen!
You're such a line to break, and I'm,
I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end,
But I just want to be happy again

Until it all falls down.
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
With a broken heart and a straight face
I'm saying, “Brother, help me!”

It's just a natural phase that I,
I go through and then it's taken away and then bam, bam – I'm fixed,
Fixed, fixed, fixed...
And I'm in another place to be where I,
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so, so damn sick,
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick...

But take this song, take this song away
Until it all falls down,
And where does that leave me?
With things, things, I've got so many things to say
With a broken heart and a straight face.

And he says, “Reach for the girl,
Reach for the girl and hold her close,
Believe you can shine when you're silver,
And I promise you gold, I promise you gold.
And whenever you're dark inside,
Don't let go, no, don't let go.
Remember there's rain and there's candy, and Christmasy winter snow,
And remember I love you the same, and I'll strangle you're pain.”

And he tells me to sing, and I sing,
And I sing for my brother, who keeps me sane,
And tells me everything will be okay.

I'm so alone,
God, I'm so alone!
I'm so alone,
I'm alone.
