The train horn blared
My brother disappeared
I was just a child too young to understand the fear
The river flows
Time never stops or slows
My brother's music echoes
Forever it goes
I miss you more than words (the pain) could ever say
I wish you were (I am) here with me (you) every single day
Sometimes I feel (I know) like I can hear your voice (you can)
Telling me (hear me) to keep going to make a choice
A voice still echoes through the halls in my mind
The drum beats of her stride a rhythm that drives
Took over to shield from physical pain
While someone dealt with emotional strain
Drea please (what) lend me your voice (do it yourself)
Help me make a choice and carry on (fine)
To live my life (I know) to play these songs (I can)
To keep memories alive (survive) to be strong (with you)
I miss you more than words (the pain) could ever say
I wish you were (I am) here with me (you) every single day
Sometimes I feel (I know) like I can hear your voice (you can)
Telling me (hear me) to keep going to make a choice
This mental distortion a consequence of pain
A shield from trauma but leaves its stains
Another man a monster in my mind
She became brother and father combined
This mental visage a reminder of them
The strength and courage she lends in me
Even though we do and don't have the same eyes
