the world broke me
but that made me
now i’m unbreakable
permanently broken
so broken that there is nothing left to break
so broke that i went through the darkness
somehow survived
came back out on the other side
i don’t know what this or anything means
i just write because the other option
is unimaginable
all those sad rock stars who killed themselves
fans left wondering why, world left confused
i am just like them
the rock stars, the fans and the world
all rolled in to one stone
i killed myself a million times
somehow survived
told my shrink i am jesus
whole world on my shoulders
thick nails hammered through my wrists and ankle
i bleed to death on the cross
open my eyes to a world that is too much
those poor drowning fools
all that burning light in their black souls
there is humor and beauty
hiding there in the shadows
laughter and awe
help us escape
for the godless
and the loveless
that is who art is for
behind every cynic there is an idealist
behind every idealist is an idiot
and behind every idiot
is my reflection look at itself in the mirror
in a room full of broken mirrors
reflecting all the broken men
so broken that we become whole again
a whole new world
blablaa bloody fucking blaa
