My brother tried to kill me and leave me for dead
But I survived with only a hole in my head
I can’t think very well but from what I understand
Is it’s my mind that’s fucked up because that’s all he said
He says brother, believe me
The words that you toss to the sky don’t mean nothing
Stop talking, stop crying
You’re better off taking yourself somewhere
I can’t hear you and your idiot words as they pile high
My brother tried to tell me his intentions were good
He felt sorry when his girl questioned why must he hurt
And go after my jugular just for some words
Saying your clumsiness is ugliness
And this’ll help you to learn
And then he jabs with intentions to stab at the back of my brain
And I just keep looking for a reason why
My brother tried to kill me and leave me for dead
But I survived with only a hole in my head
I can’t think very well but from what I understand
Is it’s my mind that’s fucked up because that’s all he said
He says "Emanuel I think the words that fall cross for me
Can easily be changed to help with your problem
So come on and be more like the way that I am "
And I said "no thank you, have a good one,
Maybe next Christmas instead"
My brother tried to kill me
