Lyrics to A Broken Man
Feel the heat intensify
Steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire, electrified
War inside begins
Wrought with guilt, abandoning
Comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me
Broken, sick, I feel
What of the dreams? A haunted curse? (A haunted curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
"Suffering, suffering inside and shaking
I'm sweating at night
Just trying to find an answer
To feel comfortable with, what, um
Like, what did I witness?"
Swaying, praying, trying to escape
Laughing, crying, more than one can take
Haunting, taunting, will not let me be
Hypnotizing and not letting go of me
Stranglehold, dreams unfold, helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood red sky, rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside, senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw, suffocating me
Nightmare, will this never end?
Flashback, I'm unravelling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside
What of the dreams? A haunted curse (A haunted curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
What of the dreams? What can I learn? (What can I learn?)
Nor can erase, forever burn (Forever burn)
What of the dreams? Inflamed and torn (Inflamed and torn)
And now I wish I had never been born (Never been, never been, never been, never been)
All is lost, I've done all I can, I swear
This cross is mine to bear
Broken man, only one remedy
He waits patiently, peaceful and free for eternity
Steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire, electrified
War inside begins
Wrought with guilt, abandoning
Comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me
Broken, sick, I feel
What of the dreams? A haunted curse? (A haunted curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
"Suffering, suffering inside and shaking
I'm sweating at night
Just trying to find an answer
To feel comfortable with, what, um
Like, what did I witness?"
Swaying, praying, trying to escape
Laughing, crying, more than one can take
Haunting, taunting, will not let me be
Hypnotizing and not letting go of me
Stranglehold, dreams unfold, helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood red sky, rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside, senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw, suffocating me
Nightmare, will this never end?
Flashback, I'm unravelling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside
What of the dreams? A haunted curse (A haunted curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside, though I've tried
I know I am a broken man
What of the dreams? What can I learn? (What can I learn?)
Nor can erase, forever burn (Forever burn)
What of the dreams? Inflamed and torn (Inflamed and torn)
And now I wish I had never been born (Never been, never been, never been, never been)
All is lost, I've done all I can, I swear
This cross is mine to bear
Broken man, only one remedy
He waits patiently, peaceful and free for eternity
