Brian, tender kisses run run run is my wish for you
Brian, tender drops of blood run run run I’m thinking of you
How far does your brother go with you?
Brian, growing boy stay stay stay awake is my prayer for you
Brian, tender clutches run run run I’m thinking of you
What happens to you when you dad
Hears your brother pull down your underpants?

    General Comment:I hate how all the scratchy sounds after the lyrics have finished remind me of shrill screaming. I don't mean its a bad part of the song, i think its really good and well done, but I dont like the way im affected by it. I think this song is really moving and sad, especially how its about something real thats affected him and not made up.

    General Comment:As boo radley started, this is about a little boy being raped night after night by his older brother (brian) in the small garage where the family lives, and the parents are so depressed with their own situation that they don't even make an effort to stop him.

    General Comment:sometimes i listen to this song loud, on repeat and go into a small psychosis. i feel so much, my heart breaks in million pieces... jamie sings so desperately, he's screaming and trying to wake brian up, it's just so overwhelming. and when the buzzing and screeching part comes, i feel like dying because i relate to the song so strongly.

    it's horribly painful but i like it.

    General Comment:I believe this is about a secretive relationship with Brian and his older brother.
