Little Brother

[Verse 1]
I'm not sure how these marks came to be on my heart
In your bed as I slept with the devil, had a brawl
When I awoke, prayed to God it had been but a draw
Oh my, what more the mess I will be if I've lost

[Chorus]
Now I dream of the sky running towards me, liquid like an ocean
My little brother is there, and I carry him like a newborn
It seems I'm always lifting him to escape from rabid beasts and storms
Behind my eyelids, he is light, he's the weight of a quarter
But in daylight, he is broad and older

[Verse 2]
Oh, oh Lord, call me back, back to you, I will come
Seal my soul like an envelope, use your spit, lick it shut
Bring your knives, use your tools, perform open heart
The water is scalding, so cold that it burns
But when I lay in your likeness, how you slip
Oh, oh, my hurt, oh, my hurt
