Lyrics
Verse
The clock ticks loud
It mocks my stare
A paper cup
A plastic chair
The neon hum
It drowns the air
I’m breathing gray
I’m breathing square
Prechorus
Where did the blue skies go
Where did the wild grass grow
Chorus
Everything feels broken today
Cracked glass windows
Skies turned gray
The world’s a puzzle missing its frame
Everything feels broken today
Verse 2
The streets are cold
The faces blur
No one stops
No one stirs
A thousand voices
None are heard
Each word's a scream
Each scream's a slur
Bridge
The trees are metal
The stars don’t shine
The rivers are mirrors of some twisted design
The birds sing songs of an empty rhyme
I wonder if this is the end of time
Chorus
Everything feels broken today
The silence screams
The colors decay
The world’s a shadow of yesterday
Everything feels broken today
