lyrics / Broken Down

Broken Down

Things were looking so fine

Things were looking so splendid

Another night goes by

Another dream has ended

My own reflection let me down

My inspiration can’t be found

I find myself looking around

At everything that’s broken down around me

When I was fourteen

It happened to my stereo

Kicked a hole in my wall

Didn’t know how long this road to ruin would go

To simplify is to complicate

There’s no such thing as solid state

Why does it always seem to end this way?

With everything that’s broken down around me

I have no idea what the future will bring

But I know for sure – it don’t come with a warranty

No, nothing lasts forever

Things were looking so fine

Things were looking so splendid

Now I’m left to wonder why

All the good times ended

My own reflection let me down

My inspiration can’t be found

Everything is broken down around me

Broken down around me

Broken down around me

Broken down around me

Broken down around me
