He won’t answer to David anymore. He says names are a trap. [verse] My brother changed his name last week— To seven numbers and a clicking sound! Says the earth's made of mirrors and meat, And the aliens live underground. [verse] He carved a map into his arm! Said it’s where the secrets live. Told Mom to unplug the oven— “They put a camera in the pilot light.” [chorus] What happened to the boy with the crooked smile? He buried him in coded files… Now he chants to a blinking light— And says “I’m free, I’m finally right!” [verse] He mailed us copper wire and chalk. “Build a tower or they’ll erase your thoughts!” I keep his voice in a folder... Titled: *“Before He Forgot.”* [pre-chorus] He says I’m the broken one... Maybe I am. [chorus] What happened to the boy with the crooked smile? He buried him in coded files… Now he chants to a blinking light— And says “I’m free, I’m finally right!” [outro] My brother changed his name. I still call him David. Even if he won’t answer me anymore.
