Brother do you believe in an afterlife? Our souls'll both collide In some great Elysium Way up in the sky Free from our shackles, our chains, our mouths, our brains We'll open all the gates We will walk careless, straight into the light I've never felt so enlightened Every page I turn I only find myself Feeling more alone Posing questions to a silent universe My very thoughts are cursed They just seem to multiply Forever in my mind Brother don't grow up Brother please never grow up Just hold out against the night And guard your hope with your life For the darkness, she will come Oh and you have nowhere left to run Oh but your eyes are wider than mine, but they'll never see?? Just hope that age does not erase all that you've seen Don't let bitterness become you Your only hopes are within you Just hold out against the night And guard your hope with your life
