Bilingual
I dream about the usual things that mean anxiety
Where I lose my hair and all my teeth
And there's nothing I can do about it
I worry 'bout my brother
Never really seen him cry
Said he thinks about the family
Like a box he can decide to hide away
'Cause it does his head in
All this talking about pain
And he's tired of being brave
I make appointments with a lady
Who I pay to keep her silence
I go there every Wednesday
With too much to explain
She says "If this were family therapy
What do you think that they might have to say?
When it does your head in
All this talking about pain
And you're tired of being brave"
The tissues she lays out for me are always out of reach
As though to teach me how to be
A little harder, little stronger, little braver
When it breaks my heart that the family can't be saved
And I'm tired of being brave
I'm tired of being brave
Friends of mine will ask me
"How are things with your Dad
Does he still make you sad?"
I say "I keep a photograph on my bookcase
To remind me he's the only one I have"
