Lyrics Brother - The Gloom In The Corner

Brother

«He belongs to me forever
He gave in, so he’s mine for the taking
Nothing will bring him back»
Said the voice coming from my brother
Left broken and bleeding
A hollow shell with a monster that can’t stop feeding
The two sit alone in an empty room
No words are spoken
But I can see the madness begin to bloom
He’s a fucking mess howling at the moon
«Little bitch boy has tried committing too many times.
Ask the doc to swap the
codeine with a healthy dose of cyanide.
I’m the fucker that turned his
nightmares into wet dreams.
Don’t sit back and watch him bleed, put the barrel
between his fucking teeth»
I can see the darkness take hold
I can see he’s lost control
So I take a step back and let it settle in
My condition feels the walls start to close in
He speaks in tongues that bring the aroma of death himself
Scratch marks on the wall to just keep count just how many he’s killed
Why can’t he die?
«Oh believe me brother I’ve fucking tried
If I succeeded they would still be alive
But I can’t control myself now you’re marked as a target.»
Fuck it, I refuse
To let him win
(I can’t lose another)
So I let the serpents eat my skin
Brother of mine, brother of mine
Give him back to me
Release him of your hold
Release him of your hold
So save me 'cause there’s no turning back from here
There’s no turning back from here
I feel like I’ve already lost the last thing I held dear
I collapse to the ground to find solace in the pavement
But I knew I’d find nothing as pure as what your love meant
Together your love was fused as one
I promise to fix you if it means I come undone
(Guess you think I’m a loser, huh?
All slithers of hope washed away in the pouring rain
I’m worthless and you knew that
Jay is fucking dead.
Gloom forever.)
«I have the devil trying to drag me to hell
And you lecture me on morality?
Let him, the Hole’s better than here
I’ll show him he should fucking fear me
You’re no brother of mine.
Put the barrel between my fucking teeth and pull the
fucking trigger."
So let the darkness take hold
So let the darkness take hold
If she dies, he dies, I die, we die
If she dies, he dies, I die, we die
We’re eaten alive by the mouth of God
Only the grittiest will survive
