you lost a son who was my brother
I grieve the same as father and mother
yet here I live in the shadow of death
unseen, unloved deserving no breath
easing your grief for your lost son
with ignorance of the surviving one
my life grows dark with your rejection
a downhill spiral as griefs reflection

I cannot be my brother's cost
I cannot be the son you lost

I was your son now just your shame
absent from love a forgotten name
tears I weep you make them bleed
drowning my hope reducing my need
return to me what grief has taken
don't leave me here to be forsaken
I'm lost and lonely in a loveless time
give back that which you promised mine

your love was promised when I was born
your love was promised not to be torn

but torn I am my heart has broken
just swept aside not even a token
my function in life no longer a fact
as love's support is now abstract
I needed help to grieve and cope
which you discarded without hope
you need to look past brother's grave
as I am falling from life you gave

please reach for me from up above
extend my life with my lost love

I stay alive in the hope you see
there's only me, there's only me

please love me again as you have before
please love me again just once more
