Proclamation of Emancipation

Planet Earth's Drama King 2012

Brother to Brother

Baby boy the road is long but they say if we follow through we'll get that pot of gold
Suicidal like a cat 9 lives couldn't hold us back
Daddy said you were the fire
Lets not forget we have each other

Nothing can stop us now

You are the innocent hope
When I see you I see me and so much more
What is more to love than the miles between brothers
It's you and me vs all the others
And we'll get hung over like a rack full of coats
Daddy never left us, cause in each other we found home

Don't forget that even the ghosts can't haunt us
We're perfectly imperfect
The world's our prey and we are the hunters
We'll take the world by storm
We are the eye of hurricane
Watch you be the greatest man I'll ever know

I see you bleeding out but I promise I'm reaching out
You'll never be alone again
Not for a single day while this earth spins
The vultures spinning will die of hunger
Cause I promise you'll make it through
You'll make it through ok

Baby boy go get it
The world is moving
But I'll always be waiting
I'm here right by your side

Alone

They say home is where the heart is and I've never been more alone
So tell me where to go when I've lost my heart somewhere along the road
Let's get drunk off each other and ignore these cracks
You and I together till the morning do us part

I've got leaches on my heart
Starving for attention
We're broken beyond the cracks

Give me something to believe in
I get high off my self pity
I guess at least I find comfort in knowing
Someday this has got to stop (right?)
Friends in high places
With hearts smeared on the ground
We're vicious selfish "lovers"
Only want what isn't found

And I'm stuck in desperation
Alone in self dementia
I'm not who I was at the start

I see clouds of you slipping from my mouth
Kissing nicotine off each other while the lights are out
Text a romance novel and the poet is alive
Broken lovers both together, alone in doubt

If god has a plan for me then he can bring it
I'm ready for the pearly gates or to burn in flames
Cause I'm not just a soul drifting without a route
I'm a heart beating only on depression and self doubt

I can see the wizard hiding behind the curtains and drapes
I'm ready for my reveal, I'm all of Dorothy's friends
No heart no brain and I'm barely brave
But maybe with another shot (at this) I'll feel ok
