Lyrics

Broken

Distant stars come in black or red
I've seen their worlds inside my head
They connect with the fall of man
They breathe you in, and dive as deep as they can

There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising

There's nothing you can say to him
He is in outer heart
And the space has been broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken

Is it far away, in the glitter freeze
Or in our eyes, every time they meet
It's by the light of the plasma screens
We keep switched on, all through the night while we sleep

There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising

There's nothing you can say to her
I am without a heart
And the space has been broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken

It's broken
Our love
Broken
