about

A fictional character thinks about his fictional recently deceased-by-suicide brother, who has left behind a few things including a small note of inspiration.

lyrics

Oh brother
It's been seven days
Mother
Wont put down the page
That you left
It had read
"Here's my pocket watch
I think its dead.

Don't you give up
Don't you let up
Play all the games you can

Catch a butter
fly when the sun
Shines off the lake we had

Fun together
Laugh together
Play all the games you can

Tell the others
I had to go
Far far away from here

I just couldn't
Stand to pretend
That I belonged right here

Pick your head up
know that you'll be
More of a man than me"

Oh brother
Please come back to me
Father
He just won't speak
Any more
Than his first born
I think he's gone

I've given up
I'm given in
I played and I can't win

I can't go on
I can't pretend
I can't live on like this

I will be with
You in a bit
Brother that I have missed

I've given up
I'm given in
I played and I can't win
