Brother, do you believe in an afterlife?
Where our souls will 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 and we will walk careless straight into the light

I never felt too enlightened,
With every page I turned, I only found myself feeling more alone
Posing questions to a silent universe
My very thoughts a curse, they just seem to multiply, forever in my mind

Brother, don't grow up
Brother, please never grow up

Hold out against the night
Guard your hope with your life
For the darkness, She will come
Oh and you, Will have no where to run

But your eyes are wider than mine, and help me to sleep
I hope that age does not erase that you see
Don't let bitterness become you
Your only hopes are all within you

Hold out against the night
Guard your hope with your life
For the darkness, She will come
Oh and you, Will have no where to run
