Can you hear me now 
Did you get lost somehow
Were you left behind 
Once they drained your mind 
Is the pain so real
You pretend not to feel
Did you reach the end
Just to begin again

And I know there’s no glory
But you should never worry
We’ll blaze a new trail now
Fix your broken story

Oh no
It all came crashing down with one blow
For my part
I tore the strings off your heart

All I know
Led me to this
I fear the dawn
The serpents kiss
When life goes cold
Will I be missed
Truth be told 
I don’t give a shit

Can you hear me now 
Did you get lost somehow
Were you left behind 
Once they drained your mind 
Is the pain so real
You pretend not to feel
Did you reach the end
Just to begin again 

And I know there’s no glory
But you should never worry
We’ll blaze a new trail now
Fix your broken story

And all I know
Has led me to this
My story unfolds
Devoid of bliss
To let honor be sold
I’d be remiss
But I grow old
In this black abyss

And all I know
Has led me to this
My story unfolds
Devoid of bliss
To let honor be sold
I’d be remiss
But I grow old
In this black abyss

This black abyss

Broken Story
