This song carries a message for the individual that is consciously aware of the mistruths and hypocrisy in our world. We are too easily swayed into deception and confusion by pop culture, social media, and current events. To be alive is to live with a cognizance that individual thought, free speech, and truth are more than words. To be broken is to walk alone, separate from rule and standard, aware that most people will not ever seek real truth and liberation.

lyrics
I've walked till feet are frozen cold
You're not here to hate me, make me fear
So I'll dance in rigid solitude

I'm no longer yours to claim
You can't take me from my aim
Just leave me in the hills to burn

I'm alive and broken in this world
I've no use for your profuse, profuse hypocrisy
So I'll dance in the freedom that's been given to me

I will not lie
in your lies anymore
Teach us to hate, inflate, and venerate
Seek truth, be gone by the pill that
they've given you
Release the power that's inside of you

I've walked till feet are frozen cold, frozen cold
You're not here to hate me, make me fear
So I'll dance in rigid solitude

I'm no longer yours to claim
You can't take me from my aim
Just leave me in the hills to burn

Alive and Broken

Tragically trying to tame the terror and trepidation of terrible times.

lyrics
These memories, how they torment me.
Running round and round my head,
till I can't see. Lord, I need your light,
to purify these nightmares inside of me.

Break through the pain.
Set me free, my Lord.
Undo the madness inside of me.

You're the only one who can
rescue me from this suffering
that will not leave, that won't let me be.

Jesus, command this storm of voices
that tell me I'm nothing.

You know my terror, you know my failures,
all of my weaknesses, still you comfort me.

You hold me when I,
harbor bitterness inside.
You know me like no other.
With you I'm home
With you I'm home.

Memories

Expelling and articulating an oppressive, deep-seated bond that torments the soul
lyrics
You've lived my life for me,
Can't break free,
From who you are

You've taken all of me,
Let me be,
Don't want you here no more

Can't see without you
Be without you
Live with you

Let me be free
Let me be free

Why can't you just confess,
Your scathing ways,
Hate the rage,
You've sown in my mind

Can't see with you
Be without you
Live with you

Let me be free
Let me be free

Can't live with you
See without you
Be without you

Let me be free
Let me be free

Let Me Be Free

Staring into the life of another
Can you hear me?
False meditations of felicity
If only, I can have yours
Won't I be whole?

Won't linger here
Where your life chokes mine
What am I hoping to find from you?

Why can't I erase you from my mind
Trying to resign
And be this naked soul

Here I watch from the screen
I look into your life
and I see, what I need and want
But then, reality hits me
And I realize,
I don't need you to be me
I need to be me
I need to be free
I need to rise
And walk my own life

Can You Hear Me

Inspired by the poem from Langston Hughs "Still Here." We can take a lesson from Mr. Hughs that life is difficult and filled with hardship and suffering, but we can choose to rise out of the darkness stand our ground and thank God we are still here.
