Hasten not the sinner,
A mold of ugliness thrown into the fire.
Brother bleed brother,
What have you done my son with your desire?
I'll hold my breath, until the end.
A prayer for us to make it through.
I'll hold my breath
Miles of conviction to carry the weight of all your own mistakes.
Open your eyes,
In the end of everything, everything dies.
And I die for you, and I die.
And I die for you, and I die.
Sifting seasons through the sand. (Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand. (You won't hear me)
Sifting seasons through the sand. (Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand. (Ah... You won't hear me)
I'll hold my breath, until the end
A prayer for us to make it through.
I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath,
I'll hold my breath
A mold of ugliness thrown into the fire.
Brother bleed brother,
What have you done my son with your desire?
I'll hold my breath, until the end.
A prayer for us to make it through.
I'll hold my breath
Miles of conviction to carry the weight of all your own mistakes.
Open your eyes,
In the end of everything, everything dies.
And I die for you, and I die.
And I die for you, and I die.
Sifting seasons through the sand. (Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand. (You won't hear me)
Sifting seasons through the sand. (Time moves so slowly)
Spitting treason in your hand. (Ah... You won't hear me)
I'll hold my breath, until the end
A prayer for us to make it through.
I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath,
I'll hold my breath

I'm not sure, but to me this seems to tell the story of two close friends (or maybe literal brothers), and one of them has messed up, and he's talking about how it affects him as well.
Obviously the line "What have you done, my son, with your desire? ", seems to suggest this.
"I'll pray for us to make it through " seems to be referring to them making it through this situation, until it's blown over.
I'm probably wrong.
now to the song... i hate to use religous conotations, because i think people usually add them in where they dont apply, but i am curious about this song
"And I die for you and I die" - Jesus' death on the cross
i also see a conection with betrayal (judas)... i believe that it is more likely that it is just a song generally about being betrayed by a good friend- someone close enough to be called a brother
"What have you done, my son, with your desire?" - Desire represents Humanity's Original Sin, and Humankind is represented as the son of god
"bleed brother bleed" - Jesus, as the son of God, is the brother of Humanity, and he had to pay the price for the son's sins on the cross
"I die for you and I die" saying he dies twice, once as Jesus and once as God, but in the same line as Jesus and God are seperate but the same enitity as 2 parts of the Holy Trinity.
i've never noticed any other Finch song's with Christian themes before, so this probably isn't the real exlpanation, but it fits for me.
its right along the lines of Jesus and Judas.
"brother bleed brother" could say how we're constantly hurting each other.
"what have you done, my son, with your desire?" could be saying that we're letting our own selfishness stand in the way of doing the right thing.
"I'll hold my breath until the end.
I'll pray for us to make it through
I'll hold my breath." ever heard that saying 'don't hold your breath'? he could be using this as sarcasm saying that we're not going to change, we'll be our end.
"love of conviction to cope with the weight of all your own mistakes" is referring to how we point out others flaws to make ourselves feel better.
"and I die for you, I die" could be saying how he bends over backwards trying to show them the way, he's killing himself to help them
"sifting seasons through the sand" obviously refers to time going on
"spitting treason in your hand" to spit on someone is usually an insult, treason isn't too pleasant, so I think this is saying that treason is being used as an insult.
