milk-toast please pray for your brother 
     A       F#m            D 
he's been diagnosed and his skin smells of sulfur 
    A         F#       D             
his eyes wont close he caught from some lover 
 A      F#m       D                    A  F# 
who rearranged the emptiness inside his smolder 
           D                    A        F#m 
that could never compete with his early years 
            D                        A        F# 
which would crash into mountains now shedding tears 
    D 
all doomed to turn sour 
   A         F#m        D 
so look for  wings and wait for the water to break

milk-toast don't you ever compete with your brother 
        D 
who has loved you so deeply 
     A       F#            D 
he's trapped meat with his mind all in shatters 
       A  F#m         D 
though luckily it was only for moments 
    A    F#    D                      A            F#m 
and then he is swimming with fishes a head full of dreams  
   D 
of oceanography 
       A       F#           D                    A 
until all his work may transcend him back into a bird 
       F#m       D                      A 
just to wait and dream of his life as a worm
