Lyrics

Broken Window

I am aware that you have a right to your opinion

But that doesn't mean that you can shove it in my face

I've tolerated it for a long time (is key)

When fighting back, winning, losing, I'm still choosing

My position, I am missing lots of things that I will need

When it comes, when it hits me

Hopefully I will be ready

When you talk back to me, it seems like I'm not listening

Truth is truth's been seen to overpower worthless dreams

Take these twice a day and they'll reduce the pain

Broken window and a brick with a note on the window pane

I am aware that you have a right to your thoughts

But that doesn't mean that it's obscene and everybody likes it when you piss them off

And make fun of them right to their face

How would you like it if the pressure was off?

The world's weight on your shoulders was just gone

You'll never see the day come if you're involved
