This one is a more straightforward. I kept it alittle vague, and I might elaborate later, but I'm gonna wait till I find the time:
Brother, They Lie
Brother are you, awake now?
I’ve had this sickening dream
I jumped over hell; wet brow
I just could not breath or scream
Brother, you were standing
outside the house staring upwards
Losing ground notwithstanding
I don’t want to lose your mind--
mind outside
brother, they lie
(Brother) Remember when you found me
hidden in the closet corner
I lost my mind, completely
the incomplete foreigner
You told me they had nothing
to do with our purpose
that they were a dead spring
that stands on the ends of our toes (??)
Brother were have, you gone now?
college is nice, I suppose
standing out on, the thick bow
of a tree that never glows
I’ve lost my way, somehow
I need someone to tell me why
I’ve lost my mind to them now
I am living in one great lie
Lie, they lie
brother, they lie
Brother I know, I was wrong
I will not argue anymore
your shadow doesn’t belong
to my future anymore
You told me they had nothing
to do with our purpose
that they were a dead spring
that stands on the ends of our toes (??)
Lie, they lie
brother, they lie
Lie, they lie
brother, they lie
I'm iffy about this one. Probably will rewrite it altogether when I have the chance.
