He suffers from paranoid delusional schizophrenia, and I caught myself with some feels one day so I jotted them down.
We sit there and wonder why
If we only knew before your time.
You see yourself as a burden
But a burden I will take
My brother isnt heavy.
You sit there and wonder why
The demons picked your head
You tear at your hair
And cry yourself to sleep
Trying to hold on to the last piece of hope
This burden I will keep.
My brother isnt heavy.
My brother, you’re not heavy
I’ll carry you around
Take your heavy burdens
And lay your warm head down
Take a rest my brother
For I know you havent slept
My brother you’re not heavy
And for tonight my dear brother
Neither of us are weary.
