Lesser from Buried Bones by Lost on the Metro
Lesser is really about loving people for who they are, and not placing boxes around why we do or do not love others. It's based on a family story and reflects on how love within a family can be complex, painful heartbreaking. How does love for someone end? Where does that love go?

Lyrics
I see you through the window pane
You’re sittin there and you’re prayin’
Your lips are movin’ and you’re prayin’
But I don’t understand what you’re sayin’
Why won’t you bless her?
Why won’t you love her ?With an open door
And maybe more Like you loved her before
Are you above her? Is she the lesser?
Who’s gonna bless her? Who’s gonna bless her?
I pretend you’re prayin’ just for me
All the good you used to see
Not to change, but just to be Like you used to love me
Why won’t you bless her?
Why won’t you love her ? With an open door
And maybe more Like you loved her before
Are you above her? Is she the lesser?
Who’s gonna bless her? Who’s gonna bless her?
just outside, ‘neath the family tree
forgotten sister, do you miss her?
Holy water in a blue willow pitcher
You don’t deserve her
Why won’t you bless her?
Why won’t you love her ? With an open door
And maybe more Like you loved her before
Are you above her? Is she the lesser?
Who’s gonna bless her? Who’s gonna bless her? Who’s gonna bless her?
