lyrics

Oh, brother
where have you been?
It's strange how much can change
in just a few years.
You've distanced yourself
from your oldest friends
I've been here two weeks;
your mother's called me now
four times in tears.

Oh, brother
we are worried about you.
I know it's not my place to say,
"What you're doing is wrong."
It's just that, well,
I am healthy and strong
and you?
You're just wasting away.

I know you're just trying
to get it right
with the best of them.
But living an extreme like this
is giving up the fight.
You are enlightened
the moment you decide,
but the only way
we heal anything
is from the inside.
Sit with your sorrows
but don't fall into them;
salvation is not in some guru
(Duh, there's news.)
It's within.

So I'm sorry
for my sarcasm
my humble little coping mechanism
because this hurts.
So I'll try to put this softly,
your scared doe eyes...
Joshua: talk to me.
