[00:44.11]What happened to my brother
[00:46.63]
[00:47.24]The life in his eyes
[00:49.07]
[00:50.45]Something shake his brain
[00:52.95]On that long bus ride
[00:56.14]What happened to my brother
[00:58.80]Swear he had my mother's face
[01:01.28]
[01:02.45]What I'd give to find him
[01:04.68]Hold him in a long embrace
[01:08.29]What happened to his body
[01:10.88]Why's he look so white and empty
[01:13.89]When he shows up at my door
[01:16.74]Just don't know him
[01:18.37]
[01:19.73]Used to sit and talk for days
[01:22.77]Now he lays there in a haze
[01:25.75]Till some tiny little nothing
[01:28.89]Triggers psychotic eruption
[01:31.42]
[01:32.26]What happens when he's sleepin'
[01:34.86]Why's he wake up cryin' and screamin'
[01:37.80]Knockin' into walls and runnin'
[01:40.51]Like hungry animals are comin'
[01:43.25]To gnaw his bones lap up his blood
[01:46.66]From a ditch bank in the mud
[01:49.71]Leave his scarecrow in the sticks
[01:52.68]For the black birds
[01:54.55]
[01:58.88]And the blue jays to pick
[02:01.80]For the nature to encroach
[02:04.76]For the wanderers to approach
[02:07.96]For the snow and autumn leaves
[02:10.75]To be buried underneath
[02:13.73]For the rivers to rise
[02:16.78]Wash him out into the tides
[02:19.99]What happened to my brother
[02:22.83]Used to have his pick of lovers
[02:25.78]A whole array of pretty ones
[02:28.45]My brother was a silver son
[02:31.67]A heavyweight
[02:32.54]
[02:33.05]A head boy
[02:34.78]A frontman a waterfall
[02:36.94]
[02:37.55]A stoic prince
[02:38.69]
[02:39.22]Not the second
[02:40.75]But the first violin
[02:43.53]
[02:45.22]So for so for
[02:48.29]So forget the viola
[02:54.72]
[02:57.25]So for so for
[03:00.27]So forget the cello
[03:06.44]
[03:09.27]So for so for
[03:12.19]So forget the violin
[03:17.97]
[03:19.81]He's up he's up
[03:22.89]He's up in his room
[03:25.49]
[03:27.22]Gone solo
[03:30.12]
[03:35.37]He used to dazzle us
[03:37.93]Leave a trail of magic dust
[03:40.82]At the end of every joke
[03:43.81]We would laugh so hard we'd choke
[03:46.97]He could turn over a stone
[03:49.80]Find an endless swell of poems
[03:52.80]Used to bring the sweetest gifts
[03:55.43]We went to him to be uplifted
[03:58.60]For inspiration friendship
[04:01.51]We needed love
[04:03.23]We needed tips
[04:04.47]Oh how I miss how I miss
[04:07.58]
[04:08.12]My brother I miss
[04:10.46]
[04:11.29]You ask me what's he do
[04:13.49]He swallows reds he swallows blues
[04:16.75]Stares off in the night sky
[04:19.49]You ask me what's he do
[04:22.22]
[04:24.23]So for so for
[04:27.16]So forget the viola
[04:34.37]
[04:36.20]So for so for
[04:39.25]So forget the cello
[04:46.10]
[04:48.23]So for so for
[04:51.16]So forget the violin
[04:57.18]
[04:58.41]He's up
[05:00.25]He's up
[05:01.48]
[05:02.01]He's up there
[05:04.17]
[05:06.72]Laying low
