Broken Cord by The Sea Within Lyrics
Quietly sitting here, just waiting for the sun
Waiting in that precious garden
Quietly ponder 'bout these clouds, they gather randomly
Reflecting in dark unknown waters
Do you believe me now?
I'm shot down in the corner, out of sight
I lost my redeeming highs
I'm swaying in the longest goodbye
Come hell or high water
Come show me your wildest of fears
We're losing to dusk now
We're tangled in drama and tears
Quietly losing all to gravity and broken homes
Walking to that railway station
Quietly waving back at royalty as they leave their homes
They're pillars of this faulty nation
We're modestly bringing you tears
You can feel it- something's wrong
Something's broken, but you carry on
All that was magic, all that was real
Rising above superstition
Nothing is given, but you carry on
Day after day, you just keep on running
Time after time, you just get it wrong
Day after day, you just keep on running
Life coming through from an endless source
You're looking for a reason
You're looking for a reason to be here
You're back in the circle
You're back in the circle of fear
We're watching the river
But no one just dares to go near
This system is broken
All tangled in frenzy and fear
Quietly sitting here, just waiting for the sun
Quietly floating in the stillness of the dawn
You can feel it
Something's wrong
Something's broken
Something's gone
The system's broken, we drift away
Disconnected, lost and so afraid
(Just as we walk through the world)
Now revealing the ugly state of play
Black serpent, black deceiver
Black river, non-forgiver
Tighten the grip, never let it go
Tighten the grip, never let him go
Looking for more time
Looking for sunshine
Watching for bright eyes
Listening for lullabies
Always the bright mind
Searching for leylines
Now and forever
Looking for more time
Looking for sunshine
Always the bright mind
Now and forever
Looking for sundown
Always the run-around
Connecting the stray-lines
Wish I could bend time
Watching the river
But no one goes near
You can feel it
Something's wrong
Something's broken
Something's gone
All that is legend
All that is real
All in the circle
Just got to heal
Nothing's taken, nothing's given
Our world is shaken by greed and pettiness
Life is precious rhythm
From an endless source
From the beginning of it all
Hold on to forgiveness
Nothing is broken
Nothing is real
Nothing is ever what you see
Looking for, watching for, listening for...
Waiting in that precious garden
Quietly ponder 'bout these clouds, they gather randomly
Reflecting in dark unknown waters
Do you believe me now?
I'm shot down in the corner, out of sight
I lost my redeeming highs
I'm swaying in the longest goodbye
Come hell or high water
Come show me your wildest of fears
We're losing to dusk now
We're tangled in drama and tears
Quietly losing all to gravity and broken homes
Walking to that railway station
Quietly waving back at royalty as they leave their homes
They're pillars of this faulty nation
We're modestly bringing you tears
You can feel it- something's wrong
Something's broken, but you carry on
All that was magic, all that was real
Rising above superstition
Nothing is given, but you carry on
Day after day, you just keep on running
Time after time, you just get it wrong
Day after day, you just keep on running
Life coming through from an endless source
You're looking for a reason
You're looking for a reason to be here
You're back in the circle
You're back in the circle of fear
We're watching the river
But no one just dares to go near
This system is broken
All tangled in frenzy and fear
Quietly sitting here, just waiting for the sun
Quietly floating in the stillness of the dawn
You can feel it
