about

My Brother, My Keeper is a song about the history we are collectively writing right now. It’s about being abandoned by our systems and saved by one another.

lyrics

As I went out on a day
Roamed the hills and made my way
Good fortune failed and to my surprise
My brother left me here to die
Put away his blade and said,
Hm that’s tough
The elements should take you soon enough

So it goes I lie here still
If I could fight I’d probably kill him
My heart is broken and I’m filled with dread
Dizzied by the buzzards circling overhead

My brother, my keeper
My brother, my friend
What an end, what an end

As we wander in solitude
We can but ponder who’s looking out for who
The future’s tinted in steely greys
It bursts with color as we see it all play out

My brother, my keeper
My brother, my friend
What an end, what an end
