He's dead drunk asleep on the side of the road (No one sees him)
Or passed out on pills in a stranger's room (She don't know him)
Don't tell his sweetheart, he's not coming home

Ladies and gentlemen
This is my blood! Yeah!

My brother's eyes are the same color as mine
Nobody knows if I see it

When he says, "brother, look at the shape I'm in. You gotta help me out"
When he says, "there's still time left to make amends.
You're in my trust, you're in my blood, I just need a friend"

And!

I need fifty bucks to pay off some old debts (You can spare it)
Or cover for me while I sort out some shit (Just this one time)

He lies when he opens his mouth
The truth never comes out
But I, believe it all

When my brother says,
"oh have you seen the shape I'm in? It's all because of you"
When he says, "don't even try to make amends
You're in my thoughts, you're in my blood, even in my dreams"

Sleeps through the night
Everything is alright
And his teeth are all white
And his face fits the type
Everything he says is true
His girlfriend, she loves him too
But his head starts to hurt
And his tie isn't straight
Goes to work early
But gets home so late
Lies down in his room
Go to bed, she'll be home soon
Wakes with a start
And she isn't in bed
So he flies down the stairs
Past the guy from that band
Is he wearing her perfume?
All because of you

When the mirror says, "just look at the shape that you're in
I offer you no forgiveness, not even in dreams
And the mirror says, "it's far too late to make amends, you got nowhere left to run"

Then the mirror breaks

I know which side you're on
I know which side you're on
I know which side you're on

I know which side you're on [x3]
Sleeps through the night(Everything is alright)
His teeth are all white(And his face fits the type)
Everything! (Everything)
Everything! (Everything)
You say is true
Nothings real!

Am I?!
Am I?!
Am I?!
On the same side?!

    Personally I think it's about someone with multiple personalities...

    hmm maybe?
