Down, torn
Words that leave desire
To be desired
Haunt as sullen ghosts through my thoughts
When you longed for me, you smothered me
Now as empty as I wished for
Maybe
I'm broken, broken, torn, down, inarticulate
Where small houses speed by
Through windows wet with light
Little theaters passing by
Acting out their lives
Where they call my home
I listen for your language
But I don't hear you
Maybe
I'm broken, broken, torn, down, inarticulate.
Summer girls on bicycles
With freshly painted faces
Weaving through the crosswalks
This city bursts with comedy
Smiling the bustles part for me
I'm not hungry
I am not for want
These luxuries I don't deserve
Maybe
I'm broken, broken, torn down inarticulate
I'm broken, broken, shut-in, torn, apart
Down, special, drowned, numb, and inarticulate
