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
