about

The despair of failed intervention

lyrics

Kid Brother
© 2011 Steven A. Humes

If you weren't my kid bother
I wouldn't know you
Your life is such...
A mess

If I didn't know better
Wouldn't try to show
What words cannot
Express

If I didn't care
I wouldn't be here
I could just stand
And stare

But I got a kid brother
So tangled and lost
Leaves my spirit broke
In dispair

CHORUS

But what can you do
When the horse just won't go
What do you try
To say

The water is there
But the horse won't drink
His mind must have gone
Astray

VERSE 2

It’s hard to step in
Intervene for a man
Who wouldn’t fight
His own fight

Punching at shadows
Seeking peaceful repose
That may never see
The light

It’s a bitch feeling bad
For somebody lost
When they're content with
Their lot

Good times we had
Can’t make it change
Won’t let them be
Forgot

CHORUS

Time already told
How this story will go
Pray that the ending
Will change

Words that were said
Dreams that just died
Promises should never
Been made

CHORUS
