Brother Lyrics by Kris Kelly

Runaways

2019

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
