lyrics

V1
There are things you don’t know I keep them from you
‘Cause I’d hate to bring you down with a dark point of view
So I put on a brave face to help me get through
This everyday despair that’s nothing new

Chorus

Broken, I’m Broken
I’m Broken, Broken

V2
I really want to tell you but it’s hard to convey
How all the colours I saw have faded to grey
The joy that filled my heart has all been drained
And everything that I loved now causes me pain

Bridge

Yeah, I’m going in circles and I don’t know how to change
Nothing strikes the right chord that can help me turn the page
And repetitive thoughts are keeping me awake
If I could sleep forever that could be my escape

V3
I take a deep breath and get out of bed
It’s the smallest routine that keeps me out of my head
I might be broken but it won’t be forever

Cornelis Gerard London, UK

True Stories + Living Music

I tells stories about daily life in gritty and glorious detail; punk manifestos and indie-rock anecdotes. Occasionally I create experimental pop and synth soundscapes, because why not?
