"Brother" lyrics

Well I'll lock myself inside your head
Try to understand what you felt
When you were tied down to the table
And your eyes filled up with anger
And you couldn't speak
On some meds I can't pronounce
And all the evil you denounced
But wouldn't leave

Well I can't walk a mile in your shoes
But there ain't a goddamn thing I wouldn't do
To take a portion of your pain
And break off all the bounding chains so you can stand
Taller than you ever have
And feel the weight fall off your back and hands

Oh brother I don't see what you see and it kills me not to know
Oh brother I don't feel what you feel but it's eating at your bones
Oh brother I don't see what you see and it kills me not to know
Oh brother I don't feel what you feel but it's eating at your bones

Well it was 18 years till it showed up
Held an arrow to your mind and throat
And the people all around you
The ones you gave your all to didn't understand
But it's crazy that you kept the faith cause surely that would
Bend or break any man

Oh brother I don't see what you see and it kills me not to know
Oh brother I don't feel what you feel but it's eating at your bones
Oh brother I don't see what you see and it kills me not to know
Oh brother I don't feel what you feel but it's eating at your bones
