Two brothers, two different worlds
One comes home, one flies a million miles
Beyond our scope of understanding,
One safe, one at risk
Yet both in eminent danger
Two conflicting feelings
Blending and conspiring
Tearing my mind apart
With love and hate
Fear and trust
Insanity and reality
The current circumstances
Adding to the proclivity
of an already cautious heart
That this heart can not trust
But I trust my body, and I trust myself
Self: our greatest savior, if you choose so
Self: our worst enemy, if you allow it to be

Two brothers, two different worlds
One comes home, one flies a million miles
Beyond our scope of understanding,
One safe, one at risk
Yet both in eminent danger
Two conflicting feelings
Blending and conspiring
Tearing my mind apart
With love and hate
Fear and trust
Insanity and reality
The current circumstances
Adding to the proclivity
of an already cautious heart
That this heart can not trust
But I trust my body, and I trust myself
Self: our greatest savior, if you choose so
Self: our worst enemy, if you allow it to be
So much pain happening in the world and in my own world.
Had to get my feelings out somehow.
