about

This track was inspired by someone I know personally suffering, trapped and caged in multiple different ways. Their situation is very different because in many ways the rough times were brought on my reckless actions, however, this song is about watching them fall apart. It's the helplessness you feel in a situation you have no effect on. Whether it be yourself or someone else, knowing what you're supposed to do is rarely clear-cut.

***Please note, half of the proceeds from this track as well as any other tracks from Speak Up, Speak Out, go to charities for mental illness awareness***

lyrics

We should be asleep
says my weary heart
to my aching bones
at ten to three

you must be lonely there
unforgiving concrete walls
the bars shadowed on your face
made you look almost animal

Am I supposed
to bring you home
Am i supposed
to hold your hand
you made the first mistake
will i make the second
for failing to understand
am i supposed
to love you again

do you know that she weeps for you
mascara stained cheeks
she can't bear to hear your voice anymore
anymore anymore anymore

(Am I supposed)

Am I supposed
to bring you home
am i supposed
to hold your hand
you made the first mistake
will i make the second
for failing to understand
am i supposed
to love you again

remorse is for the weak you said
you lift your chin so high above your head

you said you said you said you said

remorse is for the weak you said
you life your chin to high above your head

Am I supposed
to bring you home
am i supposed
to hold your hand
you made the first mistake
will i make the second
for failing to understand

Am I supposed
to bring you home
am i supposed
to hold your hand
you made the first mistake
will i make the second
for failing to understand
am i supposed
to love you again
