Lyrics
[Intro]
Same blood, different rooms.
Two battles, one family.
[Verse 1]
My brother got a war underneath his skin,
Bone-deep pain, still he tells the nurse he’s good again.
Tube by the bed, plastic running through the night,
He counts the ceiling tiles, I count the locks in sight.
He got a gown tied loose, I got cuffs pulled tight,
He’s fighting cells in a room, I’m fighting time in a cell tonight.
Mama calls both numbers, voice breaking in between,
One hospital machine, one collect-call screen.
[Pre-Chorus]
Different fight, different place,
Same last name, same tired face.
He looks through glass, I look through bars,
Both of us asking how we got this far.
[Chorus]
He’s hooked to tubes, I’m chained at the feet,
Two kinds of silence where the brothers meet.
His battle is bone, mine is steel and stone,
Different rooms, but neither one alone.
If I could trade these hands for his pain,
If he could take this sentence from my name,
We’d split the weight till the morning comes—
Two different wars, but we’re still sons.
[Verse 2]
He says, “Don’t let the hallway swallow who you are,”
I say, “Don’t let that sickness tell you what you’re worth.”
His IV drips slow, my minutes drip slower,
He’s got doctors by the doorway, I got guards on my shoulder.
He lost weight, I lost years, both losses leave a mark,
He stares down a scan, I stare down the dark.
Ain’t no winner in this family, no medals for the hurt,
Just two brothers trying to stand when the ground won’t work.
[Verse 3]
I remember scraped knees, sharing fries after school,
Now the world gives us two versions of a cruel rule.
His body turned courtroom, every scan a testimony,
My past turned judge, every charge reading lonely.
But when he says my name, the walls get thin,
When I say his back, I can feel his strength begin.
So I press my palm to the glass, he lifts his hand,
No chains in that moment, no disease can command.
[Chorus]
He’s hooked to tubes, I’m chained at the feet,
Two kinds of silence where the brothers meet.
His battle is bone, mine is steel and stone,
Different rooms, but neither one alone.
If I could trade these hands for his pain,
If he could take this sentence from my name,
We’d split the weight till the morning comes—
Two different wars, but we’re still sons.
[Bridge]
Tell him I’m here when the visiting hours close,
Tell me he’s breathing when the cell door goes.
No hero speech, no promise carved in gold,
Just hold on, brother, don’t let go.
[Outro]
Bone and brick, tube and chain,
Different roads through the same rain.
When they ask what kept us from coming undone—
His blood in mine.
My brother.
My one.
