Where Are You
I wish you knew just how hard it is
To watch you fall apart, falling in deeper
In your room all the time, life passing by
As you wait for your kids to come
The only thing you look forward to.
You sleep the days away so they don't
Exist, it's like you don't sometimes.
I try to talk to you about the real world
Pull you out of your daze, this gray world
But you only talk about technology
That's you're world now, no face to face, not in
Person, anxiety keeps you locked in the house.
Won't you come out with me and meet people?
You think you talk too much
Maybe you do but I'll listen all day, anything
To help my brother is not a bother
Remember all the fun we had years ago?
The concerts we went to, the trips we went on?
Back when your room was "the spot"and we chilled
With your friends, I know your pain
I have it too but I've had help, I'll help you
You have to work through the fear, I'll help you
It's a scary world but it's worth going out there
I don't ever want to watch you die again
Our even see you that way, live, be alive
Let's just go up the canyon
There was a time I thought we were a team and
I needed you, the first time you died I thought I would too
But now it's like you're barely alive
I miss you everyday
And so much of the time
You're right in front of me
