BROKEN (1)

A troubled heart
A wailing mouth
A bleeding eye
A dripping nose

From where will your help come?
You're the orchestrator of your woes
It's chewing you like gum
It will spit you out when it's done

Prepare to welcome your brothers - mockery, misery and pain
They're visiting without being invited
They have come to live their names in your home
They will jeer at you and blame you
For a cause you can't fathom

Are you going to sit and watch them?
They're disgracing you like you don't matter
Are you going to give up already?
Oh! No one seems to be on your side
No one likes to associate with failures

The world is against you
You're in the middle of nowhere
But only you can find yourself
Stand on your feet and fight!

Ha-ha-ha... that's you on the ground again
You're giving up on yourself
You're a common man
Alas, the world conquered you
