I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

I’m in the negative dust now

Surrounded by cold darkness

In the ache of a larger heart

 

I can’t save myself

Can’t perform

Can’t climb out

Or dig out of the grave

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

This is just a dream

A big wet dotted grid

A battle of redness

I’m swollen now

 

Cracked

Hit

Smacked

 

I’m on the railroad

I’m hitchhiking across the U.S.A.

I’m nobody

I’m nothing

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

My eyes blink

My arms move

My knees give in

And lose my balance and fall

 

Should I stay or go?

Maybe I’ll just become a fool

Time after time

Hurt

 

Outreached hand

Bloody palm

From aching heart

And tears of hope

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

I’m limp

I’m numb

I’m crying alone

 

I’m dirt

I’m disgusted

I’m wasted

 

I’m drunk

I’m a doormat

I’m shattered

 

I’m smoking now

I’m a disease

I’m a singer of tears

 

I’m walking in circles

I’m a circular saw blade

I’m burnt into ashes

 

Thinking hurting

Challenged

Given up

 

Controlled

Poured

Should have remained silent

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost
