Like A Woman Can

[Verse]
A shadow moves across the wall
It lingers there then starts to fall
A whisper breaks the silent hall
Was it ever here at all

[Chorus]
Nothing stays nothing holds
Time slips through our trembling folds
Impermanence is all we own
A fleeting spark a breath alone

[Verse 2]
The river bends it carves it takes
The mountain crumbles flake by flake
A mirror cracks a heart will ache
All that’s built the world will break

[Prechorus]
Hold it tight it slips away
Grasp it soft it still won’t stay

[Chorus]
Nothing stays nothing holds
Time slips through our trembling folds
Impermanence is all we own
A fleeting spark a breath alone

[Bridge]
The clock unwinds its ticking lies
The stars collapse they dim the skies
We build our castles high and grand
But waves will claim the shifting sand

Impermanence

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

----------------------------------

Nostalgia's bleeding out
Blockbuster's dead and cold
Netflix killed our Friday nights
Stories left untold

Hollow souls and hearts for sale
I remember better days

When you could touch, when you could feel
With your hands something real
Now the static fills my head
But hope ain't buried, love's not dead

Hollywood feeds us their lies
Auto-tune and compromise
Plastic skin and vacant stares
Nobody really cares

Lost and searching, truth grows pale
I remember simpler ways

When you could touch, when you could feel
With your hands something real
Now the static fills my head
But hope ain't buried, love's not dead

Remember when we burned so bright
Before they stole our Friday nights
Now I'm screaming through the void
For something they can't destroy
Something they can't destroy

I still touch, I still feel
With these hands something real
Cut the static from my head
Hope ain't buried, love's not dead
Hope ain't buried, love's not dead

Something real, something real
Love's not dead, love's not dead
Something real, love's not dead
Something real

Love's Not Dead
