used to be

You used to be a brother
you used to need the truth
but when you found your answers
you didn’t need the proof

When you say it
does it make you feel like its sacred
like you made it real?

History repeats itself
and now you’re on your own
The closer that we get to one another
you know you want to be alone
do you now?

Spare me all consideration
losing sight of what you seek
no loose threads to sell or lend you
but stay a while
stay a week

Hard to convince you
with one hand on the street
it’s within you
outsource sympathy

History repeats itself
and now you’re on your own
the closer that we get to one another
you know you want to be alone
do you now?
