Dear Brother


Remember the days

When I was 3

And we’d spend all day

Playing hide and seek

And you’d always find me

Where the daisies grew

Remember the nights 

We’d spend on the roof

Talking about life

And what we are going to do

Like we even had a clue

And our imaginary friends

That we'd talk to 

Till the days end

And those times

Wed play pretend

A lead guitarist

In a rock band

Walking through

Alien lands

Together 

Hand in hand

 

They say

Nothing lasts forever

And they were right

Cause the worlds beaten you down

My dear brother

They say 

It's alright

Because you'll be fine

But i know otherwise

My dear brother

 

Dear brother

 I heard mother 

Cry again last night

Dear brother

Father won't look me

in the eyes

Dear brother

No one will tell me

Why

Dear brother

Can you please stop by
