Brother to Brother

Drums lift me up to higher levels Every day I'm falling under spells smelted by inspired devils All paths are level I can't find a key I'm no Maurice Ravel How I revel In any cage I'm caught And I wanna be here even when I'm not I'm no writer or rapper/actor I'm a penny stock, trying to keep this fucking penny stocked, doc I see this chatter in my dna Shine bright a moment and disintegrate Nothing's been earned today My body's turning on me Didn't I transform it or burn it away It's a black robe on to live this way How to equivicate To those I feel for turned away For do they see just one sad day And forget that gold that I forgot? My golden rulers broken Substitute it with languages unspoken A memory reposted A secret desire; air No sacred oath could wash away That sacrificial skunk that draws Eyes to the coast to ring a bell or make a toast most Will force a boast or wax verbose for love And I try to capture it inside time-space and a body But no matter how many good love songs I write Or pamphlets I hand out, in no time its all forgot Well, nevertheless since with any good test comes blood-loss My bodies pallid and my face is flush New blood is reintroducing me softly in I feel it rush now, I feel it rush now And I hope this time I'm right And that this was all for something All this time trying to speak to others through dialogue Lyrics, scripted symbolism and chords When the people I really wanted to talk to I couldn't call them on the phone And I couldn't knock on their fucking door I'm too afraid to do that anymore man What I'm I after and what am I before? Am I twenty-six or am I eighty-six? Does my kind get fucking eighty sixed in a world like this? Sometimes you fight it or just sink more, so why say more? I'll say more because I'm paying for it I see a storm coming and I'll stay for it I'll stay the course I'm not a dark horse I'm in ascent albeit by accident And in many stories thats how swords get pulled from stone; By sad young men in supplication with a wishbone in a hand Bent Sing it And Keep it Brother to Brother Sent Brother to Brother Sent
