About This Track

'Orphaned' by Converge is a 2006 rock track from the album 'No Heroes'. The lyrics describe bright-eyed youth curdling into injury and aftermath, with eyes fading, time spent building walls, and a persistent sense of anger that is “empty but heavy”. The viewpoint is first person and inward-looking, framing survival as a long haul under a collapsing sky, and ending on the image of a heart that carries an enduring burden.

"Orphaned" is a track by Converge, from the album No Heroes, released 22nd October 2006. The track is 1:39 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Converge.

Lyrics

Orphaned

Bright eyes fading
Young eyes beaten
To black and blue
Sunrise has been sinking since i was two
One wounded and another dead
I've spent years
Building these walls
When all of this time
My sky has been falling
Burden to bare
This anger is
Empty but heavy
My heart carries
The weight of your world
My wounds are open
I am out of blood
