Can't you see I walk in tedious circles around the essence of me But there's laughter and joy and flirtatious conversations With people who'd rather agree than disagree This house I've built with things I thought I'd need It has served me well but perhaps it's time to throw away the key Broken brother will you hear me out Broken brother please step out of the crowd Broken brother I have missed you so Broken brother every time you go away It's just another way of saying hello Broken brother no more whispered words Broken brother now shout to be heard Broken brother we have been bought Broken brother was it us who sold out It's just another way of saying hello No, I did not know No no no no I did not know No no no no I did not know In doubt we'll rise and we'll see clearly below All things that once mattered and that now must go All past experiences have added up to nothing real Except right now, right here, and you and me Broken brother will you walk with me Broken brother it is time we flee Broken brother on this all time low Broken brother let me draw you close now It's just another way of saying hello No, I did not know No no no no I did not know No no no no I did not know No no no no I did not know That we were saying hello
