lyrics

9. the ballad of broken hearts – lyrics by Peter Coyle

walking
walking past
kafka’s face on the wall

overhead
the vector’s hawks
see it all

you look up
as you shape shift
you’re leaving here

you prayed in tokyo
you forged papers in prague
it’s the ballad of broken hearts

satellites
are talking to the trees everyday
explain it
cutting through
we’ll find a way
to break all the rules
keeps raining

everyday
you look up as you shape shift
you’re leaving here

you prayed in tokyo
you forged papers in prague
it’s the ballad of broken hearts

the thought of losing you right now
i couldn’t take it
the thought of you not being near
would take away the colours

my words
my words are ghosts of hurt

is this what it feels like?
is this what it feels like?
drowning

is this what it feels like?
is this what it feels like?
every day – is this what it feels like?

is this all?
is this all i can hope for?
is this all i can hope for?
