songs for brothers with ichor in their veins.
aaron michael minyard & andrew joseph minyard.
01 . brother ━━ matt corby .
somebody call out to your brother / he’s calling out your name ( ooh ooh ooh ) / hiding under the covers / with no one else to blame ( ooh ooh ooh ) / you couldn’t help out your own neighbour / couldn’t tell it to his face / you were fucked up by the blame .
02 . when you break ━━ bear’s den .
when you break it's too late for you to fall apart / and the blame that you claim is all your own fault / and you've been crying out for forever / but forever's come and gone / you keep begging for forgiveness / but you don't think you've done wrong / you've been crying out for forever / forever's come and gone / my bleeding hands , my shaking head .
03 . no anwers ━━ amber run .
i know you / but i don’t want to / because people like you never change / and i forgive you , but can’t forget you / because the things you said are etched inside my brain / you said / i got no answers / oh no , i got no answers / oh no , i got no answers for you .
04 . easier ━━ mansionair .
face up , i'll lose / craving for some feeling / game's up , we're nowhere to be found / i'm stuck , i'm stuck, i'm stuck here in my skin / i'm stuck , i'm stuck , i'm stuck with you .
05 . killing me to love you ━━ vancouver sleep clinic .
i want to keep faith , but you’re making it harder ( but it’s killing me to love you ) / i’m reaching out now but you’re pulling me under ( but it’s killing me to love you ) / i give you my heart just to watch you waste it ( but it’s killing me to love you ) / i can’t let go when you still need saving .
this is us , you know it on the inside / this is us , so you should show it on the outside / this is us , dust the dust up off your shoulders / feet on ground , you’ll come round / and be human again .
07 . fading through ━━ wafia ft vancouver sleep clinic .
i drown in the oceans / that keep us apart / mapping distant stars / oh their voices call me / to the shelter of your skin / where the end begins .
i’d climb onto rooftops / to catch a glimpse of the moon / a fading trail of you / a mountain of effort / and a wall of prayer / but this war is to the death .
oh we’re fading through / oh we’re fading through / nothing left to do / and can’t you see it was all for you ?
08 . murder song ( 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 ) ━━ aurora .
he holds the gun against my head / i close my eyes and bang , i’m dead / i know he knows he’s killing me for mercy .
he holds my body in his arms / he didn’t mean to do no harm / he holds me tight / oh he did it all to spare me from the awful things in life that comes / and he cries , and cries / i know he he knows he’s killing me for mercy .
09 . bayou ━━ mountains of the moon .
what if we were never intertwined / forever undefined / take my hand / now or not at all / sow a seed , grow a plant / watch it spire tall .
you were my coming down / my solid ground / paramount .
bedroom floor / and silence in my blood / sorry love i’m running home / i’m a child of the sun and the stars i love .
what doesn’t destroy you , leaves you broken instead / got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper / and i can’t take one more moment of this silence / the loneliness is killing me / and the weight of the world’s getting harder to hold up .
who will fix me now ? / dive in when i drown / save me from myself / don’t let me drown / i’m not okay and it’s not alright / won’t you drag the lake and bring me home again .
12 . looking too closely ━━ fink .
put your arms around somebody else / and don’t punish yourself , punish yourself / the truth is like blood underneath your fingernails / and you don’t want to hurt yourself , hurt yourself .
and i could be wrong about anybody else / so don’t kid yourself , kid yourself / it’s you right there , right there in the mirror / you don’t want to hurt yourself , hurt yourself / by looking too closely .
13 . through the eyes of a child ━━ aurora .
the world is covered by our trails / scars we cover up with paint / watch them preach in sour lies / i would rather see the world through the eyes of a child .
darker times will come and go / times you need to see her smile / and mother’s hearts are warm and mild / i would rather feel this world through the skin of a child / through the skin of a child .
14 . you’re a man now , boy ━━ raleigh ritchie .
i loved jurassic park / well i still do / actually , i’m the same except that now i take a pill or two .
you’re a man now , boy / i’m not growing up , i’m ageing / my mind’s incarcerated / still a boy / you’re a man now , boy / and though this body’s taller , sometimes i feel smaller / just a boy / you’re a man now , boy .
i smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much / see the news and feel the blues , i’m feeling out of touch / i was an astronaut once upon a time / now i’m tryna stay grounded , keep some order in my life
15 . bad blood ━━ bear’s den .
sever the ties / cut me out / fill up the hole / that i tried , that i tried to fill / oh , i lied and i’ll lie at will / just to keep your feet on the floor / to keep my wolves from your door .
well i slashed your tires / and i locked your doors / so no one gets out / but there’s a rupture to the structure of this house that we built / and i fucked it , yeah i fucked it and i fucked it / until those wolves they took all that they could .
