Little Brother from Psychedelicide by Mendenhall

Little Brother

Little brother
I want to shelter you
From all the shit in this world
Even though you're much stronger than me
Much more capable than I've ever been
Yes you are

Oh, little brother
I've made a mess of my life so far
Yes I have
Don't don't try to follow
In the footsteps I've left behind
They were never meant for you
They were never meant for you

Sometimes we take for granted
The things in life that meant the most to us
Lord let me not be blinded
To the things that hold the real significance

Little brother
Did she hurt you
I want to cry, I want to cry
Little brother
Did she desert you
Let's hang for a while
Listen to the Beatles '65
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Sometimes we take for granted
The things in life that meant the most to us
Lord let me not be blinded
To the things that hold the real significance

If you died I'd want to follow you
Wouldn't want to live without you
But I'd try for you, I'd try for you, I'd try for you
Don't you know
I'd try for you, I'd try for you, I'd try for you

If I had to choose
I'd be the selfish one
Sacrafice myself for you
But I know you'd carry on, you'd carry on, you'd carry on
Yes I know
You'd carry on, you'd carry on, you'd carry on
While I'm away
We'll meet again somewhere someday
