lyrics
It was cold where my brother was sleeping
He was sleeping for days
And in my dreams he was lost in the waves
All of the doctors and shamans had nothing to say
He just laid there for days.
I stared at him through the window
The red light of dawn
Saying "brother hold on"
"Little brother hold on".
And I shake him and squeeze him
And slap him and pull on his hair
He does nothing but stare
Barely breathing the air.
"Wake up you bastard Wake up!"
I scream in his ear
Not a blink or a tear
When all of your life is upon you
You smash it like glass
Is this part of your act
Brother get off your ass
He was sleeping for days
And in my dreams he was lost in the waves
All of the doctors and shamans had nothing to say
He just laid there for days.
I stared at him through the window
The red light of dawn
Saying "brother hold on"
"Little brother hold on".
And I shake him and squeeze him
And slap him and pull on his hair
He does nothing but stare
Barely breathing the air.
"Wake up you bastard Wake up!"
I scream in his ear
Not a blink or a tear
When all of your life is upon you
You smash it like glass
Is this part of your act
Brother get off your ass

Patrick Canning recommends:
-
Jake has made the most essential album to come out of St. John's, so essential it's two albums.
go to album -
With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
