Brandon

I've looked in that room

Seven years now I've known

About a world that we don't see

How protected we can be

No tears but eyes in pain

Laughing at a senseless game

Wipe it off when they look away

Don't give away that it's hard to meet your gaze

Face to face

And who's-showing-you-around-the-room's heart is hurting more than you

Don't mind that we're not outdoors

But to see you stuck between these floors

It's a fate that's hard to face

Life goes on outside this place

But you were better off

Brandon do you know I pray for you

Brandon did you pull through?

One boy in a wagon

On his way to die I would have sworn

I guess it got too hard to open up a door

Back to life before my eyes

Fragile boy time flies

Hey if I could take you home with me you'd never know

Then you were gone

Brandon do you know I pray for you

Brandon did you pull through?

Ironically so protected

I couldn't find a word

I asked and I asked and I asked until I heard

Oh he went home again

That's protection
