Broken Cord -

Quietly sitting here, just waiting for the sun

Waiting in that precious garden

Quietly ponder 'bout these clouds, they gather randomly

Reflecting in dark unknown waters

Do you believe me now?

I’m shot down in the corner, out of sight

I lost my redeeming highs

I’m swaying in the longest goodbye

Come hell or high water

Come show me your wildest of fears

We’re losing to dusk now

We’re tangled in drama and tears

Quietly losing all to gravity and broken homes

Walking to that railway station

Quietly waving back at royalty as they leave their homes

They’re pillars of this faulty nation

We’re modestly bringing you tears

You can feel it- something’s wrong

Something’s broken, but you carry on

All that was magic, all that was real

Rising above superstition

Nothing is given, but you carry on

Day after day, you just keep on running

Time after time, you just get it wrong

Day after day, you just keep on running

Life coming through from an endless source

You’re looking for a reason

You’re looking for a reason to be here

You’re back in the circle

You’re back in the circle of fear

We’re watching the river

But no one just dares to go near

This system is broken

All tangled in frenzy and fear

Quietly sitting here, just waiting for the sun

Quietly floating in the stillness of the dawn

You can feel it

Something’s wrong

Something’s broken

Something’s gone

The system’s broken, we drift away

Disconnected, lost and so afraid

(Just as we walk through the world)

Now revealing the ugly state of play

Black serpent, black deceiver

Black river, non-forgiver

Tighten the grip, never let it go

Tighten the grip, never let him go

Looking for more time

Looking for sunshine

Watching for bright eyes

Listening for lullabies

Always the bright mind

Searching for leylines

Now and forever

Looking for more time

Looking for sunshine

Always the bright mind

Now and forever

Looking for sundown

Always the run-around

Connecting the stray-lines

Wish I could bend time

Watching the river

But no one goes near

You can feel it

Something’s wrong

Something’s broken

Something’s gone

All that is legend

All that is real

All in the circle

Just got to heal

Nothing’s taken, nothing’s given

Our world is shaken by greed and pettiness

Life is precious rhythm

From an endless source

From the beginning of it all

Hold on to forgiveness

Nothing is broken

Nothing is real

Nothing is ever what you see

Looking for, watching for, listening for…
