i don't know my brothers
and they barely know me
but at least they take after my mother
i just hope they're never lonely like we used to be
i still think about that apartment
and the tiny sofa where we used to sleep
now i see the hands of my father
attached to my wrists
pushing you away from me
but i don't wanna live that way
to pick and choose the pieces
of the lives that you need
until there's no one left for you to see
a jagged piece of the past lay between us
but it's buried in a place where i can't reach
i still shiver when a hand touches me
i still think about those strangers forcing me
to grow up a little too soon
with no one listening
as i watch all of the good things
retreat...

In Bed

you don't wanna go
anywhere unless you're sure
there's a road to follow
and I don't wanna ask
anymore of myself
because I'd be empty at last.
but it's hard to know if we have a plan
because we hardly plan at all.
you hate to be glued
to anything that's moving
faster than you like to.
I know my way home
but it's been so long
I'm not sure if I'm still welcome.
so it's hard to know sometimes
where we stand because we hardly stand at all.
we will never grow out of this dread
with our heads buried in bed.
and I just want you to know
that there is nowhere
I wouldn't follow if you say so.

Brave Face

you got your brave face on
as they show you x-rays on the wall
but I can't see your eyes through all the fog
I think you're running out,
just way too far.
I got my brave face on
as they carry you down the hall
but I can't meet the eyes of strangers who
wonder if I'll be the same as you.
we never thought we'd get this far
and we were really lucky to live at all
and we could have been closer from the start
but here we are.
I got my brave face on
as they lower you into the dark
and I can see your brother's tears through mine.
he's saying that he needed some more time.
but we never thought we'd get this far
and we were really lucky to live at all
and we could have been closer from the start
but here we are.
