An Ode to the Broken
Sitting with my ghost
In a hollow room
A cup filled with spoons
The TV hums a tune
Of algorithmic nostalgia
Opiates and ambrosia
For the shallow
And the entombed, In a life you didn't
Choose, disregarded and abused
The days change with the weather
Tomorrow will be better
If you so choose
Emancipated from cotton sheets
Slither through defiled streets
Cascading mirrored eyes
Dissolve into ashen skies
And I, I, I
Can't see the brighter side
Scarecrows scream in empty fields
Abandoned by the crows
Golden towers laid in rows
Everybody knows
The water tastes of wine
But bitter is the divine
Angels offer advice
In secret signs, you realize
You're already dead
Just waiting for it to take affect
Smoke and soil pay respects
Carnations or coins on your shuttered eyes
I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn
And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side
I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn
And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side
In a hollow room
A cup filled with spoons
The TV hums a tune
Of algorithmic nostalgia
Opiates and ambrosia
For the shallow
And the entombed, In a life you didn't
Choose, disregarded and abused
The days change with the weather
Tomorrow will be better
If you so choose
Emancipated from cotton sheets
Slither through defiled streets
Cascading mirrored eyes
Dissolve into ashen skies
And I, I, I
Can't see the brighter side
Scarecrows scream in empty fields
Abandoned by the crows
Golden towers laid in rows
Everybody knows
The water tastes of wine
But bitter is the divine
Angels offer advice
In secret signs, you realize
You're already dead
Just waiting for it to take affect
Smoke and soil pay respects
Carnations or coins on your shuttered eyes
I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn
And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side
I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn
And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side
