Dear Brother

Look everybody there's that misfit kid
Look everybody there's that misfit kid
Look everybody there's that misfit kid
Look everybody
You look just like Grandpa, with your empty, grey eyes
But he died of dementia, you're just stuck in a state of mind
When I wrapped my arms around you, I was scared I'd hurt your ribs
So I sneaked protein in your smoothies, prayed you wouldn't be so thin
And we used to research insects and you'd colonize our yard
Guess I missed the premonitions or I would've stayed until the dark
Now I call you every evening to make sure you're doing okay
You said, I'm terrified of dying but that's the only way I'll be saved
And I'm sorry that I wasn't a good sister
I'm trying now but scared that it's no use
And this canyon between us is growing bigger
I just can't find a way back to you
It's more than a diagnosis, that's what the doctors claim
But they can only triple your dosage, your emotions kept at bay
And it's just so god damn hollow where your passion used to live
Take another pill to swallow, we've got nothing else to give
And I'm sorry that I wasn't a good sister
I'm trying now but scared that it's no use
And this canyon between us is growing bigger
I just can't find a way back to you
Look everybody there's that misfit kid
Look everybody there's that misfit kid
Look everybody there's that messed up kid
I said look, I said look
