The weight on his shoulders is not easy to bear
Simply because it has always been there
It is instinct, it's rote
The way it pulls at his throat
Young hands trained to protect and care
But not for himself, never himself
He does not want, he does not need
His father haunts his every deed
With his brother's life, hung on a thread
To keep him alive, or make him dead
Simply because it has always been there
It is instinct, it's rote
The way it pulls at his throat
Young hands trained to protect and care
But not for himself, never himself
He does not want, he does not need
His father haunts his every deed
With his brother's life, hung on a thread
To keep him alive, or make him dead
