Where Are You

I wish you knew just how hard it is To watch you fall apart, falling in deeper In your room all the time, life passing by As you wait for your kids to come The only thing you look forward to. You sleep the days away so they don't Exist, it's like you don't sometimes. I try to talk to you about the real world Pull you out of your daze, this gray world But you only talk about technology That's you're world now, no face to face, not in Person, anxiety keeps you locked in the house. Won't you come out with me and meet people? You think you talk too much Maybe you do but I'll listen all day, anything To help my brother is not a bother Remember all the fun we had years ago? The concerts we went to, the trips we went on? Back when your room was "the spot"and we chilled With your friends, I know your pain I have it too but I've had help, I'll help you You have to work through the fear, I'll help you It's a scary world but it's worth going out there I don't ever want to watch you die again Our even see you that way, live, be alive Let's just go up the canyon There was a time I thought we were a team and I needed you, the first time you died I thought I would too But now it's like you're barely alive I miss you everyday And so much of the time You're right in front of me
