BROTHER (UNPLUGGED) BY ALICE IN CHAINS
Time: 5:27
Frozen in a place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns
Beside the leaves that fall because my hand is
Pulling them hard as I can
You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away like I used to do
(guitar solo)
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mould
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color tastes
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
