Prompt / Lyrics
We grew up on late-night secrets Cigarette laughs, borrowed shoes You held my hand like a brother But you knew me better than truth Same streets, different last names Same scars we don’t explain I learned how to breathe in silence Watching you drown in the rain They say blood don’t lie But neither do tears at 3 a.m. If family’s chosen, then you’re mine Even when we’re at our end You’re my blood and bruises My best friend, my kin We break each other open Just to let the dark back in If the world comes swinging I’ll stand where you fall You’re not just a friend to lose You’re my sibling after all You steal my clothes like a sibling Steal my pain like a friend We fight like we’re strangers Then swear we’ll never end Mama said “watch your mouth” When I screamed your name But you know my worst habits And love me the same We don’t say “I need you” We just stay when it hurts Laugh through the wreckage Put our love in reverse You’re my blood and bruises My best friend, my kin We break each other open Just to let the dark back in If the world comes swinging I’ll stand where you fall You’re not just a friend to lose You’re my sibling after all If you leave, I lose my mirror If I fall, you feel it too Every cut I try to hide Bleeds louder when it’s you We’re stitched together crooked By history and choice I hear myself in your silence I hear you in my voice Maybe love ain’t gentle Maybe it’s just real Hands shaking, hearts heavy But we never kneel You’re my blood and bruises My war, my home The only one who knows me Even when I’m alone Let the world call it chaos Let it call us wrong You’re my friend, my family My always, my song Same heartbeat, different skin If I’m lost, you’ll find me then Friend by fate, sibling by soul We survive what breaks us whole
