The day we first met I thought we could rule the world together
as you danced to the music I was playing
the brother who I always wished for.
Cause my father vanished and my mother used to leave me
But for one moment as you were laughing
I found my family in you.
But I realize she already took you away from me
Leaving me with nothing but a memory and a broken heart
I want to bring you back, my family, my home.
Every night when I close my eyes I imagine you by my side.
I tell myself that one day together we'll run away
that one day we'll be brothers again.
But I know nothing will ever be alright
when I see the stars dying in your eyes
Taken away as I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
The woman who left me took away your birth right, too.
I'm begging her to stop, not to hurt you my brother
She only tells that I'm not her son anymore.
now she's just an obstacle between me and you.
I try to hold you close before she takes you away
Your warm embrace's already gone
Those tears I cry they fall for you
Cause you're my brother and I'm standing here lonely
Every night when I close my eyes I imagine you by my side.
I tell myself that one day together we'll run away
that one day we'll be brothers again.
But I know nothing will ever be alright
when I see the stars dying in your eyes
Taken away as I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
but I never forget this little boy who´s named my brother
I look at your face and see just numb expression
You ask if we already met
These cracks in my chests start to bleed again
A storm is raising inside of me
screaming and begging me for mercy
The woman who betrayed me took not only my childhood but who I was too.
Now I'm feeling numb inside
while my mind shatters all over again.
I live my life the best I can
But the hole in my heart won't heal with time
I remember this face, this voice, this lie,
the day they told me I would be alright
but no one told me who would help you survive this fight
I ask them the same question and their answers are always the same good old lie.
My voice is lost in the noise of laughter
Not good enough, not strong enough
To make them stop their laughter
Every night when I close my eyes I imagine you by my side.
I tell myself that one day together we'll run away
that one day we'll be brothers again.
But I know nothing will ever be alright
when I see the empty darkness in your eyes
Taken away as I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
Rage and madness inhabit my mind
making me hating what I see in front of me
A knife and a gun in a young boys hand
someone I used to call my brother
I know she created a cold hearted killer
but still I can see those dying stars in your eyes
Now you're a soldier and I'm the preacher
begging you to lay your weapons down in war
When you vanish in the crowd I ask
If you’d kill me, would you remember me?
Every night when I close my eyes I imagine you by my side.
I tell myself that one day together we'll run away
that one day we'll be brothers again.
But I know nothing will ever be alright
when I see the black holes in your eyes
Taken away as I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
But I never thought someone could hear this cry
She was the barrier parting me from you,
now gone- a bad memory locked away in a forgotten room
Even the woman that took everything from me, needed to pay her price
And I see you crying, save in his arms,
knowing this nightmare has come to an end
But these years of rejection and darkness had taken their price
I changed in a way I don't tent to describe.
Formed by this thing I use to call life
This was the last time I would get to tell you the truth
The last chance to save me from being swallowed by the dark hole
But I'm standing still as you walk by
the words are stuck in my throat
And like all those years I cry,
Now I'd missed another try.
Every night when I close my eyes I imagine you by my side.
I tell myself that one day together we'll run away
that one day we'll be brothers again.
But I know nothing will ever be alright
when I see the stars dying in your eyes
Taken away as I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
Fading away, taken away when I reach out for you
When I see the stars dying in your eyes
I never thought my life tried its best
'til I realized it gave me another try
This time I won't miss my chance
I walk to you and tell you the words that were burned in my mind
"I'm your Brother" and "I missed you so"
I can see this starless eyes and an awoken memory
The day we sang this song
The day we used to be brothers
and I see the stars glistening in your eyes.
Remembering a family - a home.
A song/peom based on the story of one of my charaters who was never really able to get to know his little brother and had to watch as their mother abused him over several years. When he was about 23 and his brother 17 they were finally able to meet each other and found who they'd known-or unknowingly- been searching for their whole life.
