Brother

from Empty Ship by Apres Pompeii

lyrics

Our mother, she was the sea. Our father, he was the pull of the moon. Together they’d create children; together, they could mold men but they separated. Our mother, she just lies dormant now: unmoving, no waves, no discontent. She lets children play without threat of the current. She lets children play...what she never did then. Our father, he’s pulling mountains now. They’re unmoving, stoic, and wise. And he loves them, oh, how he loves them. And they love him, but he’s forgot to mold you. They separated. All my life I’ll regret. I was a decade old man and you were a shell in the sand—I found you where they left you, took you in my hands and I tried to mold you. I took you in my hands. I tried to mold you. I was a decade old man and you were a shell in the sand. I found you and cut my hands on your edges and bled.
