yeah, we were together every day
you’re my umbrella from the heavy rain
and the one who would tame
my Serengeti brain
when my thoughts run wild
one child
looking out for the other
many things we would discover
whether good or bad
na ya couldn’t dad
ya wouldn’t have
made mum sad like that
we didn’t know you made each other mad like that
and now you’re asking me why’s dad sleeping in a different room
just two
kids both so confused
didn’t know what to do
except for stick together like some blu-tack
cause we knew that
was the only way to adapt to the change
we cannot become trapped and estranged
especially, when we’re both wanting to get capped in the brain
cause we were running from hurt only to get lapped by pain
I know mum and Anna were exactly the same
but as your older brother, I say
look out for each other and we’ll make it another day

younger sister asked when will it end?
older brother just has to pretend
looks into her watery eyes
and says everything will be alright
but the older bro doesn’t know
it’s a rodeo deep in his soul
outta control trying not to let it show
but she sees through the cracks
and deep down, he knew that

back then I didn’t know it
but a life changing moment
can be golden
if you own it
and of course
we knew there was shit way worse than divorce
but it still tore our heart cords
we kept moving forward
like a pride of lions
we mightn't be smiling
but team work is protecting us like some iron
armour
in our teens snakes tried to charm her
and harm her
til she starting harming herself
she said it was better than all the pain she’s felt
take the blade and say people have dealt
with situations way worse
so say words
to yourself that build up your walls
cause your mind can be a wrecking ball
or crane
just gotta explain
to your brain
that you’re not giving up today

younger sister na she’s never giving up
it hard but she’s made a start to find that self love
that every human needs and every human has
it’s just hard searching for something you’ve never had
but it’s really been inside all along
all this time spent wondering where it’s gone
don’t focus on the environment coming at cha
cause it’s what’s on the inside that really matters

like the scatter
of stars in the darkness of the night
there’s a way to harness it right
but it’s different for every person
and I’m still learning
so together we can take this journey
but if your path
leads you a far
just play this song cause I’m always in your heart
we were a team through times so dark
but now
I’m so proud of how
ya held onto hope
cause that mental struggle is no joke
people would be more understanding if you were in a plane crash
but no one understands when you say it’s like having your brain bashed
twenty four seven by a club-wielding man
so one sees it, so no one understands
so your stranded in no man’s land
so isolated, despite it all you made it

younger sister man she’s really lighting up
she’s the light when it’s not light enough
and her own life line at the right time
had a blind mind now it’s shine time
with sublime grind
and focus
once hopeless
but now she turned it around
and she has the power to help those off the ground
down in the same crazy place
man that’s… Aimee-Grace
