Ladies And Gentlemen: My Brother, The Failure Lyrics - Kill The House Lights - Thursday

He's dead drunk asleep on the side of the road 

(No one sees him) 

Or passed out on pills in a stranger's room 

(She don't know him) 

Don't tell his sweetheart he's not coming home 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my blood! 

Yeah, my brother's eyes are the same color as mine 

Nobody knows if I see it when he says 

"Brother look at the shape I'm in, you've got to help me out" 

Or when he says 

"There's still time left to make amends 

You're in my trust, you're in my blood 

I just need a friend." 

And, "I need fifty bucks to pay off some old debts 

(You can spare it)" 

Or, "Cover for me while I sort out some shit 

(Just this one time)" 

He lies 

When he opens his mouth the truth never comes out 

But I believe it all when my brother says 

"Oh have you seen the shape I'm in 

It's all because of you." 

And he says, "Don't even try to make amends 

You're in my thoughts, you're in my blood 

Even in my dreams." 

He sleeps through the night 

Everything is alright 

And his teeth are all white 

And his face fits the type 

Everything he says is true 

His girlfriend, she loves him too 

But his head starts to hurt and his tie isn't straight 

He goes to work early and gets home so late 

Lies down in his room 

(Go to bed she'll be home soon) 

But he wakes with a start and she isn't in bed 

So he flies down the stairs past that guy from that band 

(Was he wearing her perfume?) 

It's all because of you when the mirror says 

"Just look at the shape that you're in 

I offer you no forgiveness, not even in my dreams" 

And the mirror says 

"It's far too late to make amends 

You've got nowhere left to run." 

When the mirror breaks I know which side you're on 

I know which side you're on 

I know which side you're on 

(I know which side you're on) 

He sleeps through the night 

Everything is alright 

And you're teeth are all white 

And you're face fits the type 

Everything,everything, everything 

Everything you say is true 

Nothing is real 

Am I? 

Am I? 

Am I on the same side?
