WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER
what happened to my brother the life in his eyes
did something shake his brain on that long bus ride
what happened to my brother
swear he had my mother's face
what I'd give to find him told him in a long embrace
what happened to his body why does he looks so white and empty
when he show up at my door
just don't know him
used to sit and talk for days now he lays there in a haze
'til some tiny little nothin' triggers psychotic eruption
what happened when he's sleepin' why does he wake up cryin' and screamin' walkin' into walls
and runnin' like hungry animals
are comin' to gnaw his bones lap up his blood from a ditchbank in the mud
leave his scarecrow in the sticks for the blackbirds
and the blue jays to pick for the nature to encroach for the wanderers to approach
for the snow and autumn leaves to be buried underneath
for the rivers to rise wash him out into the tides
what happened to my brother used to have his pick of lovers a whole array of pretty ones
my brother was a silver sun a heavy weight a head bull a front man
a waterfall a stoic prince not the second by the first violin
so forget the viola
so forget the cello
so forget the violin
he's up in his room gone solo
he used to dazzle us leave a trail of magic dust
at the end of every joke we would laugh so hard
we'd choke he could turn over a stone find an endless well of poems
he would bring the sweetest gifts
we went to him to be uplifted for inspiration friendship
we needed love
we needed tips
oh how I miss how I miss my brother
I miss you ask me what's he do he swallowd reds he swallows blues stares off in the night sky
you ask me what's he do oh why
so forget the viola
so forget the cello
so forget the violin
he's up in his room layin' low
