[Verse 1]
Left with images of you pouring from my eyes
You young, you here, day dawning, eyes wide
Just images, images
All that is left
All that I can find
Like water
From a cactus
In the desert of my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins

[Verse 2]
In a room that holds you
Like a guilt-ridden paralyzing cell
No calls
No mail
No visitors for you when you’re in Hell
Forced hellos
Rushed goodbyes
And best wishes for you in the meantime
My face seen as often as God's
Can let guilt have its way of owning you
Like a dog
[Pre-Chorus]
May to march
March to may
The days fall with the promises I make
Like water
From a faucet
Into the sink of your faith

[Chorus]
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood
Oh, brother
You leave me, you leave me like blood from my veins

[Outro]
We always seem to fall with only words to hold
We always seem to fall with only photos to hold
We always seem to fall with only memories to hold
We always seem to fall without family to hold
