Lyrics

Broken

[Verse 1]

Dead state I can feel the weight

Light streaming in through the open grate

Two thread score tearing up the floor

Out in the alley with the trigger draw

Numb hands I can see the strand

Hold it together with a severed ban

[Pre-Chorus]

Three lost years I've been crying here

I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken

[Chorus]

Strung out on the wings of the dawn

Hole in the black soul in the storm

Torn down through the cracks in the dark

We're miles adrift we're inches apart

[Verse 2]

I'm hit I can feel the grit

Sat in the asher on the beaten brick

Two thread main running through the vein

Out in the centre with a mirrored cane

Numb feet I can hear you speak

Hold it together with a severed streak

[Pre-Chorus]

Three lost years I've been crying here

I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken

[Chorus]

Strung out with wings of the dawn

Hole in the black soul in the storm

Torn down through the cracks in the dark

We're miles adrift we're inches apart

[Chorus 2]

Stood up on the side of the earth

Thrown back to the track to the dirt

Two thread lose an hour a day

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Strung out with wings of the dawn

Hole in the black soul in the storm

Torn down through the cracks in the dark

We're miles adrift we're inches apart

[Chorus 2]

Stood up on the side of the earth

Thrown back to the track to the dirt

Two thread lose an hour a day

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

We're miles adrift, we're inches away

[Outro]

Hold it together with a severed bank

Can't feel the blood
