Wild Uncle Video (MV)

You're the little brother but I'm the small one
Words from your tongue each carefully chosen
My wretched mouth when opened up only drools poison
But someday you may find you need my love

In your wraithlike shadow
I reside throughout our earthly time
I long to cast a shadow
Deep, and wide, and only mine

Should any dare speak ill of you
Then me they all must answer to
And if words should come to blows
Then I would gladly bear a bruise

Somehow you pulled ahead in school
And I fell far behind
Made our parents proud of you
While I just made them worry right

Things have gotten better in the last few years or so
You'll be a daughter's father soon
And I will be her wild uncle

I will pull you from the dark
Or pull the darkness from you
Return us to our father's arms
Those vestiges of refuge
