milk-toast please pray for your brother
A# Gm D#
he's been diagnosed and his skin smells of sulfur
A# G D#
his eyes wont close he caught from some lover
A# Gm D# A# G
who rearranged the emptiness inside his smolder
D# A# Gm
that could never compete with his early years
D# A# G
which would crash into mountains now shedding tears
D#
all doomed to turn sour
A# Gm D#
so look for wings and wait for the water to break

milk-toast don't you ever compete with your brother
D#
who has loved you so deeply
A# G D#
he's trapped meat with his mind all in shatters
A# Gm D#
though luckily it was only for moments
A# G D# A# Gm
and then he is swimming with fishes a head full of dreams
D#
of oceanography
A# G D# A#
until all his work may transcend him back into a bird
Gm D# A#
just to wait and dream of his life as a worm
