lyrics

Never never more

Are we feeling more secure

Than when we write raps and take naps

or hide behind our doors

How many times have I lied

To a person who loves me and in me they confide

For me it isn't trust it's just untruth

Nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to prove

The wounds I have caused haunt me every single day

Help me out here to confess

And help me now to say

I'm sorry I'm broken

I'm sorry I'm broken

I can't function correctly

I'm sorry I'm broken

I'm so very screwed up

Tipped over spilled out

The end is so messy

Ghosts are bound to linger at the tips of your fingers

At the lips of our singers and no one knows better

Of the heart breaking shredder that is this machine

A team of the worst people you could meet

Empty the hourglass faster, sink into a lifeless laughter

Slowly drain out, give up and fall down

Does it even matter

I'm sorry I'm broken

A glitchy malfunctioning person

A loser a kid a joke an example

Of what it's like to be outspoken

Im sorry I'm broken

I'm sorry I'm broken

I can't function correctly

I'm sorry I'm broken

I'm sorry I'm broken

Slowly drain out

Tip over fall down

Does it even matter?

As you peered at the peak of insanity with confusion

You asked if this half of me was merely an illusion

Are my voices in your head

Do they turn your thoughts choices red

With the innocence in your mind you've been too kind to Ask why you ever tried to find someone

emotional as me

And don't be don't be too attached cuz I'm emotionally Distraught, I've been caught, I'm really messed up

The cats out of the bag and I'm not covered up

The cover is the blanket that masks all my emotions

I don't know if I've been going the right way

I've been outspoken, so low that it's an unknown place That means I'm broken so give me your heart

This is a burglary

Trust me no one needs it as much as me
