Benjy (feat. Michael Lusk)

I remember my brother, his fate was so cruel He saw things so different, branded a fool He never quit talking and followed me round Followed me swimming, I hoped that he'd drown He found trouble often, each place we'd go Laughing and dancing, those same whispers would grow He was indifferent, I was the worst friend He didn't know that this was the end He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell The locals got angry, left traps out for him Threw rocks, started shouting, his prospects were grim Easy to blame Benjy, my mother's favorite son For her and my family, my plan had begun Let's play together, you go and hide In a cypress tree hollow, it was safe and dry He trusted me fully, I nailed him inside He thought we were playing, that was a lie He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell Only much later did he start to weep He called for me softly, but I was asleep He couldn't get out, I had nailed him in This was my crime, this was my sin As the sun rises, so the sun sets After a day mother, she frets Hey where is Benjy, where is my son? I'm here mama, your only one He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell He was my brother, Benjy his name He saw things different, he was my shame And I said goodbye, I said farewell I took my hammer, my ticket to hell
