My Brother

thomas.severt 2007 (KY)



you are fucked up
and you dont know whats up
and you feel all alone
and you are trying to make it on your own
you have been drinking every other day
and you dont know what to say
and you feel there is no other
well maybe you just have a brother
  well thats what i got
after all that i have sought
thats everything i have thats all
he keeps me standing tall
