Brother Lyrics

Artist: Pinhead Gunpowder
Album: Goodbye Ellston Avenue

Once I had a brother
And we grew up looking out for each other
And when he fucked up
I did my best to cover his lies

I hid him from the cops when he was a runaway
Put him up when he was on the streets with no place to stay
And when he lied and stole
I looked the other way

Cuz in time
I knew he would find a way to get his life together
And we would be alright if we just stuck together
And somehow we would both make it through
Somehow we would make it through

Maybe I tried too hard to be a brother
There comes a time you gotta burn your bridges to discover
What you are inside

I thought I knew my brother but I was wrong
Maybe I'd been lying to myself all along
When he burned his bridges he burned me at the same time

Well brother, brother,
How could you be so hateful, so ungrateful
After all that we'd been through?
Someday you'll get what's coming to you
Someday you'll get what's coming to you

You stole my money then my friends
And now my girlfriend too
You say you treat everyone like a brother
And it's true cuz you screw everyone
The way that you screwed me

You're a tumor, a leech, a sore that won't go away
Leaving a path of discarded people in your wake
You're a thief
A thief who stole my trust
And that's the worst thing you could take

But every underdog must have his day
So you'd better stay the hell out of my way
Cuz this dog's day is coming soon
And this dog won't let bad feelings pass
This dog wants grudges to last
Cuz this dog won't forget how he was done in.

Well you selfish little motherfucker
I hope I never live to see you hurt another
Cuz life you touch is life you smother like mine
