Family
There's a damp patch on the ceiling
Near the place my time's been leaking
The taps are running but the pipes are rusting
I'd change the channel but it takes the whole damn day
I have found a shoulder that's able
To hold my weight when I need to rest
So when it comes to times once fabled
(I'll) seek my brother human to the bone
While I wail He says
Ooo don't fear
Ooo don't fear
(As we) tear down just to rebuild
Side by side sleeves rolled to elbow
(Diving) head first into my mess
Lit by smiles that beam and glow
(Finding) out what relationship really means living together and sharing our woes
(And joys) triumphs just the same
When one rises the others sure don't fall
And all the while he says
Ooo don't fear
And lovingly he says
Ooo when did a worry add a single day to your life
So I'll try not to fear
Any scheme of man
Because I know
The contours of his hands
Yet i worry and doubt from confusion
But that's because I'm not yet fully grown
(So I'll) persevere in the hope of love that
Will leave my joy complete and nothing less
*chorus chords*
(Then I) heard a voice say
just be yourself
Because
that's the you that I love best
Wires
It's been a while now
(Since) we last sat down
Talked and hung out like
We've never frowned
The wires are all down now
I've got time
Your blood is all over
My hands are both drowned
I'm so sorry
Let's mend this right now
While the wires are all down now
Trust me your safe
The wires are all down now
We'll chase all your fears away
sorry for the delay
We'll chase all your fears away
Sorry for the delay
(But the) wires are all down now
Let's make some space
