your brother of mine has a family tree

from what i can see you've lost a few leaves

you let me fall without concern

another bridge for you to burn

the art of a mission you know it well

not even sure which lie to tell

you carry on like it's all the same

searching for somewhere to place the blame

and one day you might realize

and see the error of your ways

feel the pain and regret at last see through the haze

and one day you will notice and brave your missing kin

for that you can thank yourself

'cause you prove him blood is thin

you're not the man that i know

you're just a boy who's never grown

and though you aim to let it fade

your memory won't go away

you can try and let the time

make you believe that all is fine

but in denial you can't survive

and anger will eat you alive

and one day you might realize

and see the error of your ways

feel the pain and regret at last see through the haze

and one day you will notice and grave your missing kin

for that you can thank yourself

cause your proven blood is thin

the way you twist my words and phrase your own

what happens when your allies leave

and you end up alone

whatever you turn to liquor or drugs

no vice could ever mask the pain

of your life that once was

and one day you might realize

and see the error of your ways

feel the pain and regret at last see through the haze

and one day you will notice

and grave your missing kin for that

you can thank yourself 'cause your proven blood is thin
