lyrics

Hey little brother did you hear I made it back to town
I’m getting sober there’s some things I gotta figure out
I saw the station and the lot we used to run around
I could have sworn that there were things I used to care about

Pleased to see you it’s been too long
Where you been since I been gone
What were all those words we used to shout

I am the great despiser
I hold myself beside her
I often hope for fire
I am the great despiser

Hey little brother did you hear I’m slipping back and forth
I’m getting older man it’s barely worth it anymore
I had a dream that we were sitting on the summer porch
It seemed like everything was just the way it was before

Pleased to see you it’s been too long
Where you been since I been gone
What were all these frozen letters for

I am the great despiser
I hold myself beside her
I often hope for fire
I am the great despiser

I don’t want to care about it anymore / I don’t want to care about it any more
I don’t want to care about it anymore / I don’t want to care about it any more
