Broken

Explain to me the ways of the world...

Does it make a sound?

Wings breaking?

The loss of freedom

And the ability to fly

What does it sound like?

The snapping of feet?

A reached dream

That goes unrecognized

 

It's harsh

The sound of a mirror breaking

The bringing of shattered hopes,

Misfortunes

And no longer knowing

Who you are

So shall we let it be heard throughout the sky?

The sound

The dreaded sound

Of a breaking heart

As it reaches the ground.
