lyrics

He's already dead
The man who taught us how we work
Ain't working. Never did.
Already dead
He’s still hissing reprimands
Yeah, he ain't laid down yet
Held down, he’ll come back ragin
Let out, no fiend to find, but friend
Already dead
Ain't nothin tough in lonely
My brother's love, ain't no sin
Already dead
Let that old man die this time
Mama‘s givin’ birth again
Held down the beast is agin’
Let out another tender man
Held down he’ll come back ragin’
Let Out the tenderness of man
We all got lost out there, looking for our truth to speak
When all we had to do was listen
And if our tenderness is seen as weak
Our brother's love is all they're missing
So stand beside, before and behind your loves
Not just your lovers but your kin
This fight ain't nearly over yet
Then tender beast will rise from him
How can we be our sisters brother without the love of men?
How can a boy know how to love if we don’t take him by the hand?
Yeah, How can we be our sisters brother without the love of men?
How could a man show me how to love if he never knew where to begin?
Its only us… thats where it ends.

“The Keener Family’s rich melodies float languorously atop warm guitars and strings heavy with reverb— When Christopher and Aubrey Ann sing together they sound like Bill Callahan and Emmy Lou Harris”
