Kris Kelly – Brother lyrics
Sat on a tree stump, swayed in the wind, I can feel you.
Uncoupled, size doubled, dreams halved, but all the same,
Can you feel me?

Brother, please, lend me your eyes again.
Brother, please, the beat of your heart again.

“Oh the past is blowing a kiss to you.
Now is the same as it has always been.
He’s in there, fast asleep.
Close your eyes, he might wake up.”

A pathless land, I’m riddling a way.
Could a slave keep dreaming?
Slowly and still-ly advance on ahead?
But I’m stuck right here.

Brother, please, sing me your song again.
Brother, please, lead me back home again.

There is a king, drunk and undressing a whore.
A monkey lord, bent over taking his own sword.
A wounded loon wrenching the life from his soul.
I peel back the layers that bind me
So finally I can claim my place on that throne of bone.

“Oh the past is blowing a kiss to you.
Now is the same as it has always been.
He’s in there, fast asleep.
Close your eyes, he might wake up.”

These shadows are dancing an ode to an age.
The ripples send waves through my body,
Mirrors reflecting the infinite in me.
Then I slip right back.

Brother, please, bring me to life again.
Brother, please, bring me to life again.

There is a king, drunk and undressing a whore.
A monkey lord, bent over taking his own sword.
A wounded loon wrenching the life from his soul.
I peel back the layers that bind me
So finally I can claim my place on that throne of bone.

I dreamt that I set down all this shit and started to climb that tree.
I dreamt you had hung yourself for days upside down.
I dreamt we were hanging intertwined, a braid of gold.
I dreamt we were merging into one, an ouroboros.

I’m dreaming again.
The fool on the hill,
I left him behind,
That’s my sacrifice.

Suspended in the air, we had
Coiled and united, we surrendered there.

Oh Lord, if the answer were to make its way to me before
I lie down in that dirt bed again,
Oh Lord, I swear that I would kneel before you day and night
And dress him up in fire.
