If you fall
Do you think you family would be shocked at all
If you fade
Do you think your son would be blessed with much brighter days
To reach the seventh stage
Six must carve my name
And just like the pain
Then the stone will wear away
If you fold
Do you think your sisters will forget you grew so cold
If you fail
Do you think your brother will be right on your trail
Children told their vision is a gift
Blessed to see God's grin eating shit
With a presence like poison and barbed with truth
Dear brother, has anyone ever been close to you
And the ones who tried, yeah, tell me did you ruin
Old man take a look at my life, I'm alot like you
Incapable of love
With a heart too hard to touch
Every day that I choose life
Just another chance to make my mother cry
Without my thorns in your side
Seven stages could just pass right by
But, to reach the seventh stage
You know
That six must carve my name
At first, it's shock
You will deny the pain
Then anger rises
And you bargain with the fates
Depression sets in
Was this a test
Were you just too late
But, you must accept you can't help
I've always felt this way
Dear brother
I'm sorry
I did it again
I let my guard down
And I let the voices in
God always wins
And I can't do this again
When you fall
And you'll fall
No, your family won't be shocked at all
When you fade
And you'll fade
Yeah, your son will be blessed with much brighter days
When you fold
And you'll fold
No, your sisters won't forget you grew so cold
When you fail
And you'll fail
Yeah, your brother, you know he'll be right on your trail
When you fall
What six will carve it
What six will carve it
When you fade
What six will carve it
What six will carve my name
When you fold
What six will carve it
What six will carve it
When you fail
What six will carve it
What six will carve my name
I try to hide behind masks of dad's design
He could always change his skin to match the scene
But, then I get high and my savior writes
He says you'll hurt until you set yourself free
Set yourself free
Free
