Ballad of the Broken Ones Lyrics

I've got cobwebs in my bathroom, I've got monkeys on my back

No more mojo's rising and I crawl back to that sack

I don't believe in miracles and I don't believe in fate

I just believe that I've gone and left it all too late

When I came into the world my daddy was being crushed

Climbing up the precipice and turning into dust

My mother was never grateful, she would shower me in shame

When I tried to cry out she said, you're the one to blame

People live for freedom that they make up in their heads

They learn to live by falsifying something else instead

Trying to outrun darkness futile to the end

The only way to peace of mind is knowing that it ends

Childhood is a place where I was pushed back down the line

Then I saw the ones who thought that they were doing fine

Then as they get older they were in my company

Wondering why they didn't evolve and ended up just like me

One time down in some old town a girl came up and said

You look like you need someone to irrigate your head

In her eyes I could see that she was satisfied

When she tried to comfort me I ran for miles and miles

People live for freedom that they make up in their heads

They learn to live by falsifying something else instead

Trying to outrun darkness futile to the end

The only way to peace of mind is knowing that it ends

Some say life's a journey and that don't seem right to me

We go around in circles and do so mindlessly

The thing that made me realize is what I say just might be true

It's just because I'm bumping into people just like you

As I sit here writing all the thoughts I've thought before

Not sure why I'm doing it maybe the reaper's at the door

Some say it's much better to tell the world what's deep inside

I call bullshit to that stuff and I won't apologize

People live for freedom that they make up in their heads

They learn to live by falsifying something else instead

Trying to outrun darkness futile to the end

The only way to peace of mind is knowing that it ends

People live for freedom that they make up in their heads

They learn to live by falsifying something else instead

Trying to outrun darkness futile to the end

The only way to peace of mind is knowing that it ends
