a Singer of Songs - Another Way of Saying Hello Lyrics

Can't you see I walk in tedious circles around the essence of me
But there's laughter and joy and flirtatious conversations
With people who'd rather agree than disagree
This house I've built with things I thought I'd need
It has served me well but perhaps it's time to throw away the key

Broken brother will you hear me out
Broken brother please step out of the crowd
Broken brother I have missed you so
Broken brother every time you go away
It's just another way of saying hello
Broken brother no more whispered words
Broken brother now shout to be heard
Broken brother we have been bought
Broken brother was it us who sold out
It's just another way of saying hello

No, I did not know

In doubt we'll rise and we'll see clearly below
All things that once mattered and that now must go
All past experiences have added up to nothing real
Except right now, right here, and you and me

Broken brother will you walk with me
Broken brother it is time we flee
Broken brother on this all time low
Broken brother let me draw you close now
It's just another way of saying hello

No, I did not know
That we were saying hello
