Brother Lyrics

I woke up
(To diseases)
I shut out
(TV screens, and)
Then I count
(All my sneezes)
Then I count
(Well, he needs 'em)

I am a knight
I am a color, oh
I am a light
I am your brother, oh

I sat still
(With the syrup)
I feel ill
(It'll clear up)
Take my pill
(You don't fear us?)
Take my pill
(With the syrup)

I am a knight
I am a color, oh
I am a light
I am your brother, oh

Swing
Swing
Swing

I climbed hills of chimneys tall like butter
(Tall like caverns in my teeth)
And when I came to I did shudder
(We were trying to believe)

And when the day has ended
And when our hearts unfold
We'll glow like the night sky, oh
We'll glow like centerfolds

This is not our last disguise
(I love him, dark out of)
This is not our last disguise
(We are him, we love him)
This is not our last disguise
(Our love's not recited)
This is not our last disguise
(Ten years worth avoided)
This is not our last disguise
(We smoked it, we drank it)
This is not our last disguise
(It's warm like a blanket)
This is not our last disguise
(In forty years, they'll leave us
Unconscious, they hear us, they hear us, they hear us)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is not our lasting sky (Our light did you right) This is not our lasting sky (The latter is fly) This is not our lasting sky (Our light did you right) This is not our lasting sky (The latter is fly) This is not our lasting sky (I love him, I know them, we owe him, we love him) This is not our lasting sky (Our lives are recited, ten years boy, I'll fight it) This is not our lasting sky (We love him, we drank it, it's not nice, I like him) This is not out lasting sky (All for you, they'll leave us, our conscious, they drew us, they drew us, they drew us)

Is what I'm hearing at the end there
