about

This track and all the other Brotherless stuff is also on Spotify, iTunes, GooglePlay, you know... all the important places.

lyrics

Every single thing I say
Every little choice I make
Every single time I wake
Every single thing I chase
Forcing a smile on my face
I wake up and come back to this place

I'm turning into a machine
With a worn out battery
I've grown tired of my routine
Lost sight of who I wanna be
Lost sight of what matters to me
But I don't even know what that means

What if I missed my destiny?
How arrogant of me to think

I've been thinking about life
Knowing someday, everybody dies
I've been wondering what I should do with my time
I've been wasting it all year
I've been acting insincere
Being held down by my fear

What if there was a plan for me
And I missed it entirely?

So did I miss my destiny?
I guess that's really up to me

I know there must be something more
Something that's worth living for
Not just to pay my bills on time
Not just to get ahead in line
So sick of living for myself
What am I worth if I'm no help?
There world is not a better place
If I just stay in the same place
So sick of living for myself
I wanna live for someone else

I have no idea who took the picture on the artwork. I'll ask my mom.

Sorry About Everything
by Ghost House

I love this EP. I play in a band called Athletics with 3/4 of these guys. They blew my mind when I heard this stuff. They supported me to no end when I started Brotherless. Brotherless

Why Aren't I Home?
by Athletics

I play drums in Athletics. For some reason they also let me help write some of the songs and occasionally sing on recordings. Best friends a dude could ask for. Brotherless
