Are You Listening?

If I'm being honest,
I can't quite remember the last time you looked into my eyes and told me keep it on the road.
Young man, just stay afloat.
You promised your true love and your brothers.
They can't face it alone.

Heart open wide.
We all need it sometimes.
The thorn in your side is a part of you, and it keeps digging in.
I'm not the only one who feels the pull.
I need you and I hate it.

It's not worth the pain, kid.
This night can save you from the barrel of a gun.
Are you listening?

This is the second act.
Don't ever turn your back on the ones who walked you towards the sun.
You can't face it alone.

Heart open wide.
We all need it sometimes.
The thorn in your side is a part of you, and it keeps digging in.
I'm not the only one who feels the pull.
I need you and I hate it.

Can't think about the weight.
Just gotta lift it.
