The Sound of a Broken Man Songtext

von Isbells

The sound of a broken man is silent as the grave
Unbearable in many ways
Lying down, face to the ceiling
Unable to breathe in or out

How long can one stay
In a state of mind in which one breaks
Every other day
How long can one crave
A moment to regain
Just a little bit of faith

The sound of a broken man reminds me of a painting
Shades of grey around a silhouette that fades away
Stuck in frame for as long as the paint will stay

How long can one stay
In a state of mind in which one breaks
How long can one crave
A moment
How long can one stay
In a state of mind in which one breaks
How long can one crave
A moment
