milk-toast please pray for your brother
A F#m D
he's been diagnosed and his skin smells of sulfur
A F# D
his eyes wont close he caught from some lover
A F#m D A F#
who rearranged the emptiness inside his smolder
D A F#m
that could never compete with his early years
D A F#
which would crash into mountains now shedding tears
D
all doomed to turn sour
A F#m D
so look for wings and wait for the water to break
A F# D

who has loved you so deeply

he's trapped meat with his mind all in shatters
A F#m D
though luckily it was only for moments
A F# D A F#m
and then he is swimming with fishes a head full of dreams
D
of oceanography
A F# D A
until all his work may transcend him back into a bird
