VELVET REVOLVER LYRICS - For A Brother

"For A Brother"



Can't rise from the bottom

Time flies when ya got it

Your time has receded

Wasted

Could and should have been

And didn't



[Chorus]

I've given up my hand for a brother

Given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free



Nose dive, crash to the bottom

Angel, your wing was always broken

Fought for rights of the prophets

Not for the spirits of your daughters

Didn't



[Chorus]



Walk slowly

Seems like time has stopped

Seems like I'm slow dancing

But I'm flying

Where do I go?

The home I know is closed

I'm free, free yeah

I'm free, free, yeah

Free, free, yeah



I've bitten off my hand for a brother

Given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free



Bitten off my hand for the stuff

And livin' off the shit you steal

You perished for religious and forgotten

daughters that you couldn't see



Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

Given up my hand for free

Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

But you set yourself free
