Broken Cord Songtext
von The Sea Within

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 shut down in the corner, out of sight
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 royalties, they leave their homes
They′re pillars of this faulty nation


Do you believe me now?
I′m shut down in the corner, out of sight
Lost my redeeming highs
Swaying in the longest goodbye

Come hell or high water
Come show me the wildest of fears
We're losing to dusk now
We′re modestly bringing you tears
We're tangled in drama and fears

You can feel it - something is wrong
Something is 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 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 just sitting here just waiting for the sun
Quietly floating in the stillness of the dawn

You can feel it - something is wrong
Something is broken - something is gone

System is broken we drift away
Disconnected - lost and so afraid
Now revealing the ugly state of play

Black serpent black deceiver
Black river, non-forgiver
Tighten the grip, never letting go
Tighten the grip, never let him go

Looking for more time
Looking for sunshine
Watching for bright eyes
Listening for a lullaby

Always the bright mind
Searching for lay lines
Now and forever
Looking for more time

Looking for sunshine
Always the bright mind
Now and forever

Looking for sundown
Always the runaround
Connecting the stray lines
Wish I could bend time

Watching the river - but no one goes near
Never - nothing - nothing.

You can feel it - something is wrong
Something is broken - something is gone
All that was magic - all that is real
All in the circle - now just got to heal

Nothing is taken - nothing is given
Our world is shaken by greed and pettiness
Life is just this rhythm from an endless source
From the beginning of it all!
Hold on to forgiveness
From the beginning of it all!
Life is just this rhythm from an endless source
From the beginning of it all!

Nothing is broken - nothing is real
Nothing is ever what you see
What you see...!?
Looking for - listening for.
