lyrics

BROKEN DEAL

LOCKED UP IN A CELL
KEPT AWAY FROM THE LIGHT
NOTHING MATTERS WHEN THE TIME YOU GIVE
BRINGS CANDY TO THE EYE
WHAT YOU LIVE
RESIDES WITHIN YOUR MIND

BOOKED ON INFORMATION
CURIOUSLY ON CUE
THEY TOOK YOU IN NEVER NAMING THE CRIME
THE LADY SINGS THE BLUES
WHAT YOU HAD
NO LONGER BELONGS TO YOU

WHAT YOU BREATHE IS WHAT YOU KEEP
YOU REVEL IN THE RHYME
THEY CANNOT TAKE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
OR THAT OLD TOKEN DIME
THE PURPOSE OF THAT CRAZY SCHEME
IS UNKNOWN TO MY KIND
THE DARK IS UPON YOU MY DEAR
YOU CANNOT GET AWAY
FROM THIS BROKEN DEAL

CONFINED TO A WORLD
FILLED WITH CHINESE PLASTIC
YOU CANNOT WAIT TO LINE UP FOR THE WORK
OF BUYING WITH A CLICK
THE DECK IS WORTH
A HAND FULL OF TRICKS

DRIVEN TO CONFUSION
MASTERMINDED CURVE
YOU GO BACK TO THE TRAP YOU THOUGHT YOU LEFT
YOU FOLD WITHIN THE CURSE
WHAT YOU WERE
YOU LOST THAT WITH THE PURSE

WHAT YOU BREATHE….
