Old Night

Something Is Broken

Old Night


The whole world took a deep breath
And for a split second stood still
In disbelief watching the reaper
As it moved in for the kill

Something is broken
It all just came apart
Like a house of cards
Once you stopped his loving heart

Hate is an acquired taste
Yet it’s bitterness hides a sweetest core
With this rope you forced around my neck
All I can do is beg for some more

It’s like trying to sing of my loss
In ear endearing rhymes and verses
With a mouth full of rusty nails
Sharp razors and curses

Something is broken
