Ballad of a Broken Home Lyrics

Album: Feathers

I walked by the city just before night.

Suddenly I found myself on a strange siding filled with light.

A building appeared on top of it all.

Wrapped in layers of gold and importance.

I walked near this enormous building, climbed to the top.

And as I stood there by this mighty piece of architecture, my senses were affected.

A sound of static machines filled the air with nausea.

A smell of flesh and perfume took my breath away.

And as I stood there overwhelmed by fear and curiosity,

my legs walked the curious way.

I walked through mighty halls and formal parties,

till I found a room severed from the others.

The smell and noise that once got me sick returned

I had to look inside.

I saw thousands of people laying on couches.

I saw mouths, eyes and ears covered in human skin.

Sewed on, by the use of machines.

Controlled by men in suits and women with diamond rings.

Constructions of a human elite

That’s all I saw

Empty faces covered in skin

Unfortunately we all need someone to adore
