lyrics

Intro:

Brother, where are you?
Where have you gone?
Escaping from your life, does it silence the screams?

Verse:

Brother, hear me
I know not where you have been
Your presence brings relief from concerning thoughts, so grim
Your hesitant silence breeds complacency
My reluctance feeds your infirmity

Prechorus1:

This rage within me, you built,
It scars my heart and it masks my guilt
So tell me

Chorus:

If I had held out my hand,
Would you have taken it?
If I had told you to stand,
Would you have turned away?
Once my life starts to decay
I won't be the last one standing
But after my final day,
Will I see you again?

Prechorus2:

Broken hearts deny obligation,
Guilted by your silent screams
This rage within me, you built,
It scars my heart and it masks my guilt
So tell me

Chorus:

If I had held out my hand,
Would you have taken it?
If I had told you to stand,
Would you have turned away?
Once my life starts to decay
I won't be the last one standing
But after my final day,
Will I see you again?

Build:

I won't let you die alone
I will be by your side
I won't let you die alone
Was I really by your side?

Bridge/breakdown:

Condemned by remorse
Burdened by regret,
But the fault is yours

Spoken:
Which is worse: guilt or anger?
'cause I feel both for you
Your own silence was to blame
But maybe mine was, too
So, is my anger justified?
Well, was your selfish decision?
Then again, you were just a victim.
