Gently Broken -

I must hold on something else

Instead of all you’d taught

Serenity has gone for too long

Neither root nor branch were doused

I stayed in the line

As you all designed

When I dared to move out

You crashed all my bones

Threw me all your mud

Sucked my blood

Left alone

I was broken

I was broken

Gently broken.

..

I’m all alone with my own destiny

I’m sitting nearby this old windowsill

I will be sober when it is over

But I just need some more time to heal

Every piece of goods in this room

Still smells like the day I had left

I regret leaving, tearing them all apart

Everything I knew they’re all gone now

Nothing different than I had begun.

..

«Get into line, as we design

If you dare you are gently broken!»

«Gently Broken.

..

Gently Broken.
