DESOLATE

Sister, there's so much that's left unsaid
Like the hole that's in my heart
And the knife stuck in your back

Betrayed by those we love and left all alone
With no father to give us direction where we should go
Suppressing emotions to get you by and expecting it to last a lifetime
We can't go on living beneath these lies

I promise to hold you up when you're too weak to stand
On your own

With every bit of strength left in me
I will rebuild what's been taken within

And they were gone within an instant
Vanished before our eyes
How much can one endure until they've completely run dry?
And so we watched our father die
Our whole world it fell apart
I watched you give it all to a man who never cared for your heart

Desolate

When will enough be enough?
When will this ever end?
I replay these thoughts over and over
I am stuck on repeat

Sister it kills me to have seen you like this
I will hold on just for you
So we can see this to the end
I will do my best to silence my thoughts
So I don't suffocate and end up like the rest

God breathe life into these broken souls
Restart our hearts and make us whole
Make us whole

I refuse to let you fall

Somehow I'll see us through this
Even if we're the only ones left standing here
Always I'll be right here
This comes straight from my heart
A brother's love lasts forever
