Broken Like Us

We're sitting in this house

You and I and no one else

While the world is falling down

And the sirens sing like bells

We're so high above this town

There's no use in crying for help

Will we ever make it out?

Only time or god will tell

But for now we hold each other tight

Lying on the floor underneath our bed

Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs

We're broken

We're broken

Take another breath that we won't get back

Crashing to the ground all the photographs

So broken

So broken like us

In a hundred years from now

Will this house be standing still?

With a couple looking out

From the broken window sills?

Will the bullet holes be gone?

Like the quiet life we built

Will they still remember us?

All the tears and blood we spilled

While we tried to hold each other tight

Lying on the floor underneath our bed

Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs

We're broken

We're broken

Take another breath that we won't get back

Crashing to the ground all the photographs

So broken

So broken like us

All the words we'll leave unspoken

Scattered through the rooms we used to know

All the memories left frozen

Waiting for somebody else to find

Lying on the floor underneath our bed

Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs

We're broken

We're broken

Take another breath that we won't get back

Crashing to the ground all the photographs

So broken

So broken like us
