Brett's Blues

[Verse 1]
Brett stumbles in the shadow's glare
A dim light
Not much there
Kevin’s wisdom fills the room so wide
Aden's sharpness cuts like a rising tide
[Chorus]
Oh Brett
You’re small where it counts
Lost in the numbers
Can't make the amounts
Kevin and Aden stand so tall
You’re a whisper
They’re the call
[Verse 2]
Aden’s stride makes the earth quake
Kevin’s laugh
A tidal wave awake
Brett
You’re a puddle in a desert storm
They’re the fire
You’re lukewarm
[Prechorus]
Measure the man by more than pride
But Brett
You’re running out of sides
[Chorus]
Oh Brett
You’re small where it counts
Lost in the numbers
Can't make the amounts
Kevin and Aden stand so tall
You’re a whisper
They’re the call
[Bridge]
No need for a crown
They’ve got the weight
Brett
You’re a feather lost to fate
Oh
The mirror don’t lie
It just reflects
What you wish you could correct

melancholic, stripped-down acoustic with haunting fingerpicked guitar and sparse piano chords, sad
