Broken Leg

One by one I’ve been losing touch
Long legs bend at the knee
How your eyes betray what you think of me
They’re telling me that I should leave

My god
Lives high
In soul and mind
It gives me something real
And something to believe

Burdens buzz like a guitar string
I crumble under the weight
I can’t come back there’s no one to confide in
I don’t know where I’m meant to be

My god
My fairytale
Hums low
In my mind
So give me something real
And something to believe

Even when I try to hide
There’s a door straight to my mind
You’re gone but still reside

Bell ringing aloud
But I’ll never get myself out
It’s only a lifetime we can wait
Drown out the sound until it’s too late
But don’t be proud

Bull hunting you down
You hide in the alleys but it finds you out
Covered in crimson head to toe
You live for the chase but you act like you don’t

So don’t be proud
Don’t be proud

You got lost
In that life
So grit your teeth
And twist the knife
Or let it slide

Bell ringing aloud

My love
Never had a hold on me
But when she finally slipped away
She left me bound

I grip tight
To the mansion banister
Drunker than a forest fire
On a lonely Father’s Day

We can be bad and good together
We can love each other loud
I’m lighter than a feather
I’ll hardly make a sound
I’ll go with you even if it’s down

Sweetheart
Don’t listen to the words I say
Only watch what I do
And you will know me well

Wise up
This is a fight to the death
And none of us will leave alive
So we might as well be brave

We can be bad and good together
We can love each other loud
I’m lighter than a feather
I’ll hardly make a sound
I’ll go with you even if it’s down

Can’t dance with a broken leg
But I do it anyway
And I cut the rug apart
With my sweetheart
With my sweetheart
With my sweetheart
