This Broken Design
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.
Beautiful smiles
and beautiful voices
Tumbling down
Oh, they made their choices
I'd rather admire
the people that are tired
the ones that have an empty face
the ones that i can just erase
Facing all of them
But all of them are you
(We know we're wasting time)
Too fragile to contend
that all of them are you
(No questions asked, no reasons why)
This broken design
of what this has come to
All this in time
Well, i know it will fade soon
And I'm aware of the problems
the ones that surround me now
And the faces of all of them
embracing a weary smile
Facing all of them
But all of them are you
(We know we're wasting time)
Too fragile to contend
that all of them are you
(No questions asked, no reasons why)
We know we're wasting time
No questions asked, no reasons why
We're spend a bitter end
the places we knew, the people we've been
