Broken hymn
Brett detarI came here carrying a tune but it slipped my hands
Stolen away by hearts that lie
I hear a choir of dreams that died in the distance like a far-off cry
There's so much ache in that melody, a song so honest and true it could bury me
All that misery and pain, I'd sing it beautifully away if I still had a soul that could be saved
Is there a hymn for the beaten and the broken down?
I got this bullet in my heart but it's still beating now
I wanna shake these demons but it's just so hard to get free
Sing with me
Sing with me
Just sing
Just gimme something to feel at all
I got this woman in my life but she got no soul
There's a needle in her arm and we're getting so high
I'm tellin' ya babe, I ain't afraid to die
You'll sing no chorus if I go tonight
I'd leave you, woman, if I could somehow
You got this poison in your blood and it's killing me now
But listen don't you hear that sound - music as a heart gives out?
Oh my God, you gotta' tell me now
Is there a hymn for the beaten and the broken down?
I got this needle in my veins and I'm still bleeding now
I wanna' shake these demons but it's just so hard to stay clean
Sing with me
Sing with me
Just sing
My voice is trembling
It shakes along - so weak and tired and it's almost gone
Maybe it's not beautiful
Maybe it's not strong, but I'll sing this beaten, broken song
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh oh oh oh
I sing this hymn for the beaten and the broken down
Got this bullet in my heart but it's still beating now
I'm gonna' shake these demons
Yeah I know it's so hard to stay free
Sing with me
Sing with me
