I Was Broken
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was tied, but now unbound
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound I've heard before
The gnawing of the night time at the door
Haunted by the things I've made
Stuck between the burning light and the dust shade
I said now I used to think the past was dead and gone
But I was wrong, so wrong, whatever makes you blind
Must make you strong, make you strong
In my time I've melted into many forms
From the day that I was born
I know that there's no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken for a long time, but it's over now
Yes and you, and you
Well you walk these lonely streets that people send, people send
There are some wounds that just can't mend
I do pretend, pretend
I am free from all the things that take my friends
But I will stand hear till the end
I know that I can take the moon
In between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken, for a long time, but It's over now
I was broken, for a long time, but It's over now
