unravelling and damaged

ah ah ah ah

ah ah

i’m broken

and even if i wanted to

i don’t think i could change

and even if i had to

it’s nothing i’d like to rearrange

coming apart and fragmented

ah ah ah ah

ah ah

i’m broken

a couple of packages short

of a full delivery

a little bit of light

that you’ll never ever see

twisted, knotted and cracked

ah ah ah ah

ah ah

i’m broken

i peer out from my darkness

i see a light i’ll never shine

i look with apprehension

knowing that it’s not mine
