Broken Life

I saw all those lonely yesterdays Walkin' down that street of shame Heavy eyes and tails between their legs Walkin' hard and movin' slow Tryin' to remember the night before Rearranging everything they said Broken, black, and blue You speak the false, you make it true Scratch at your skin, scab it over and over again Stone lifeless heart inside your chest Crushing all you love and choking off your breath It's killing you But not quite yet Broken, black, and blue You speak the false, you make it true Scratch at your skin, scab it over and over again Wrong the words used, make the sense doesn't get through Break, black and blue, speak the false and make it true Scratch at your skin, scab it over and over again While we're losing we lose, all we ever do, we never win So tired of this, so tired of this Clench harder fist, clench harder fist.

Surround yourself and never get out Forever everything seems in reach But it all seems to shrink from you now And what good would happiness bring? A life to experience its own death It will mean nothing after your last breath And all you were, you will not be And no one will ever care Drawn by I knew not what I went where men had not yet been On and on beneath the endless sky And shadows sharpened edge Defeated, I returned, I fell back upon the Earth A life to experience its own death It will mean nothing after your last breath And all you were, you will not be And no one will ever care.
