I keep talking to the silence hoping something might get through Are you still there, my brother Cuz I'm still here, I'll wait for you Verse 2 He stood beside me at the altar trusted me to take his boy up high Now we're sorting through the wreckage of a country I don't recognize I want to grab him by the shoulders say man, can't you see what they've done But I remember hands that grabbed at me and how hard I fought to come undone Chorus 2 Are you still there, my brother beneath the noise and the blame Are you still there, my brother or just a stranger with my old friend's name I keep reaching through the static not sure what I will find Are you still there, my brother cause I'm not giving up this time Bridge Red and blue make purple bruises on the bodies of who we used to be And the algorithms feed us fury 'til we're strangers in our own family They said that light would spread like morning but the dark keeps holding on Maybe all that I can do is keep the line open maybe all I've got left is this song... Verse 3 So I wrote my friend a letter said I love you more than being right Said I'd rather sit in silence with you than to try to win a stupid, pointless fight And I don't know if he'll receive it the way I mean for it to land But I'm done waiting for the world to heal I'm starting with one outstretched hand Chorus 3 Are you still there, my brother after all that we've been through Are you still there, because I'm still here I'm waiting here, I'll wait for you The line is thin and full of crackling but I'm not hanging up tonight Are you still there, my brother Can we just put down the fight? Ohhhh... (spoken, quietly, over fading guitar) I'll be waiting on the line ---------------------------------------- CREDITS: Lyrics by William Cornelius Accompaniment & instrumentation by William Cornelius using Suno AI (commercially distributable per Suno subscription terms at time of creation) LICENSE: Audio Recording: Free for commercial/non-commercial use with attribution (CC BY 4.0) Lyrics & Songwriting: All rights reserved.
