Back to the idea of God, but this time the brother has lost all faith.
The song ends with the brother referring back to the father, saying that if he never sees him again, he would kill him in his dreams every night.
lyrics
Followed the light in a time I was so desperate.
Felt it was right, taking me miles away.
Now I'm starting to think it's inside. I thought I escaped, but I'm just a slave to this.
Oh no, I've made a mistake.
I've done this all before, I know that it's not easy but I'll try to make it easier on you.
We're never satisfied, even when it's fine because like everybody else, there is always something new.
Maybe we...
Maybe we're not so different from everyone. It never plays out that way in my head. Black and blue I made my truce with something or someone I thought was there for me, but I'm sorry because I don't believe.
"Please show me something, just prove me wrong. If you're up there, I need you and so does she, and so does everyone."
Let me, let me sing you to sleep.
I know that you're scared, but it's better this way for you but not for me.
Let me, let me sing you to sleep.
My eyes will barely stay open but I still see that if I never see you again, I'll make sure I kill you every night, because my dreams are as real as me.
You told me this was all my fault, and no one was there to tell you different but me, and I know you never believed in me
