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

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