When I was your soldier, 
I went in to fight 
When I was your boulder, 
I held it down all night 
When I was the keeper, 
I swore I'd never tell 
When I was the reaper, 
I swore I'd give you hell 

When I was your shade tree, 
you hid beneath my limbs 
When I was your river, 
I taught you how to swim 
When I was your appetite, 
I gave you my skin and bone 
When I was your mountain high, 
you sat upon my throne 

When I called you brother, 
I felt it from the start 
When I called you lover, 
I meant it with all my heart 
But when you took another, 
I fell to the floor 
and when you called him lover, 
I walked out the door

Dylan Wright is a Chicago based queer singer/songwriter, born and raised in the Midwest. Combining a tender and earnest voice with finger picking styles on the guitar to the likes of Iron & Wine or Nick Drake, his music creates a melancholy and shoe-gazey atmosphere to lose yourself in. 
His album "As A Ghost" was released mid November of this year, and can be purchased through his bandcamp page.
