From the recording THE BROKEN PLACE
Lyrics
You walk into a darkness you didn't choose
The kind that pulls the floor right out from under you
And the walls fly apart, and the air gets thin
And you're terrified of the place you're in
It's dark in there
You can't breathe
You think you're lost
But you have just been seen in
The broken place
Where the wound is exposed
The broken place
Where the deepest part of you finally knows
Then the darkness goes
You could have stayed there, curled up in the corner
You could have run too fast past its hellish border
But soon enough you'd find there's no way past
You can try to outrun it, but you'll always crash
And then you know
There's one thing left
It's time you finally
ask for help in
The broken place
Where the wound is exposed
The broken place
Where the deepest part of you finally knows
Then the darkness goes
And the light comes slow
The way it always does
But you can feel it now
And you try to adjust
And every inch of you it covers
Feels like something brand new
And something that's so old
It's always been you
The broken place
Where the wound is exposed
The broken place
Where the deepest part of you finally knows
Then the darkness goes
It always comes with the ache
It's always hard to face
but you
You're hard to break
