Lyrics:

“Brother” was written by guitarist Jerry Cantrell about his younger brother. When Cantrell’s parents divorced, Jerry lived with his mother while his brother lived with his father.
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm

Frozen in the 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
Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm

Hm, hm, hm hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm

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, I won't run away
Like I used to do
Hm, hm, hm, hm


Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste

You were always so far away
I know the way, so don't you run away
Like you used to do
Hmm, like you used to do (Like you used to do)
Like you used to do

Hm, hm, hm hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm hm, hm (Hm, hm, hm)
