Hey little brother did you hear I made it back to town?
I'm gettin' sober, there's some things I gotta figure out
I saw the station and the life we used to run around
I coulda sworn it though, the things I used to care about

Oh I'm pleased to see you, it's been so long
Where you been since I been gone?
What were all those words we used to shout?

I am the great despiser
I hold myself beside her
I often hope for fire
I am the great despiser

Hey little brother did you hear I'm slippin' back and forth
I'm gettin' older and it's barely worth it anymore
I had a dream we were sittin' on the summer porch
It seemed like everything was just the way it was before

Oh I'm pleased to see you, it's been so long
Where you been since I been gone?
What were all these frozen letters for?

I am the great despiser
I hold myself beside her
I often hope for fire
I am the great despiser
I don't want to care about it any more (x9)
