I Was Broken Lyrics
Marcus Foster
Lyrics
I was tied but now unbound
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound I’ve heard before
The gnawing of the night time at the door
Haunted by the things I’ve made
Stuck between the burning light and the dusty shade
I said I used to think the past was dead and gone
I was wrong, so wrong
Whatever makes you blind must make you strong, make you strong,
In my time I’ve melted into many forms
From the day that I was born
I know there’s no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light,
I was broken for a long time but it’s over now.
It’s over now.
Yes you, and you
You walk these lonely streets that people send, people send
There are some wounds that just can’t mend
I do pretend, pretend
I am free from all the things that take my friends
I will stand here till the end
I know I can take the moon
In between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken for a long time but it’s over now
Said I was broken for a long time but it’s over now
Said I was broken for a long time but it’s over now
