Brotherhood

[Verse 1]
A lonely road ahead, God only knows where it leads
Full of foes and those who just don't share your dreams can be a scary scene
Somewhere between the rocks in the hard places I went from
Cracked paving stones I tip toed over, but still stepped on
Rusted handrails that can fail if you lean too far
The banned trails that hold the bad tails leave you scarred
The well where I throw my wishes and dwell on moments missed
Blow a kiss and watch it dissipate in a slow rolling mist
But on this lane, there's ways to bridge the gap, the pieces fit and snap into place
The ridged land flattens out, there's no more balancing weight
Stacked up on your chest to prevent you falling flat on your face
You could stand up straight, the pattern breaks, you can relax and take
A breather, a place to feel safe and freed up
They would accept even your dangerous features traits that you're afraid to keep up
Neighbours, mates, acquaintances that make amazing days of bliss
Your patience may be paper thin, but, trust me, just wait for them 'cause

[Chorus]
That's where you'll find the family you've been looking for
It's not always obvious, especially when you've been burned by the ones you trust
But once you find the family you've been looking for
Don't be discouraged 'cause they're not your blood, you've just gotta build your self-esteem and confidence

[Verse 2]
Wore my heart upon my jacket sleeve
Gave it to a girl 'cause she was cold, she never gave it back to me
Probably why I second guess every bit of kindness that I receive
Either believe I'm being deceived jump in, not thinking with both feet
Can't just dip my toes in, I'm diving in deep
You're my lioness, my queen bee, my highness, my liege
Cap to myself, I confess it was
Hella rejected the health it was offered
Don't need guidance, don't need doctors
I been fighting with these monsters
I was gassed up, but it was noxious
So much bad blood, it been fostered
Yeah, he's a stubborn arse, a real jobs worth
Had to weed up my garden, clean off dirt
Get to the root and cause of his problems
Stop dwelling in that doom and despondence
Get a new state of mind and new conscience
Everyone that aided me won't feel squandered
Hopping on stages, shows and concerts
Amazing moments that won't be forgotten
All 'cause I changed my terrain from the Boglands
To a new place where the rays let me blossom
There's a certain few to thank for that
I hope one day, everything they gave me, I can hand it back, I mean, even half of that
They showed me what no other could
Despite the dark and troubled look
So I'll raise a glass and hug 'um good
That's my Brotherhood

[Chorus]
That's where you'll find the family you've been looking for
It's not always obvious, especially when you've been burned by the ones you trust
But once you find the family you've been looking for
Don't be discouraged 'cause they're not your blood, you've just gotta build your self-esteem and confidence
