lyrics

Broken by Layla Roots

Do you know these times in your life,
when everything seems to make no sense?
The road you're going down
leads to neverwhere, neverwhere.

You are walking into darkness,
no light at the end of the tunnel
you don't know if hiding
or running is the better choice

You are scared of everything
the now, the past, the future
big black clouds in your head,
thinking is not possible.

On a ship in the endless ocean
you've been swallowed by the sea
tumbling to the ground
man forges his own destiny.

You feel it creeping onto you,
the ease to give in and let go,
her grip is warm and welcoming,
she tells you to come home.

The solitude embraces you,
deafening silence everywhere
and as you turn to memories,
You wish that you could flee.

Your soul, your mind seem broken
broken into parts, broken into pieces
soul and mind seem broken.

You're broken into parts, broken into pieces,
broken into parts and broken into pieces,
broken into parts and pieces.

Eventually you cannot fake,
your heart's pounding, you're afraid,
for what comes next for you- but wait
Have you forgone to forge your fate?

A moment of silence,
you finally find yourself.
You wake up and open your eyes
You're hungry for life!

And you recognize,
that to live you had to die,
to ease the pain, to quit the doubts,
to be completley you.

You're taking all of your strength,
The faith, the hope, the love for life.
You're rising and waking up,
here you are - You want to live!

Your soul, your mind seem broken
broken into parts, broken into pieces
soul and mind seem broken.

You were broken into parts, broken into pieces,
broken into parts and broken into pieces,
broken into parts and pieces.
