Again, I suggest listening to this whilst reading for maximum effect.
Once Broken Considered Sold
So here I lie all worn down,
The driver stumbling beside me,
A pool of red colours the tarmac,
Rose blossoming on the black.
The blue lights fill the air,
Shattered glass like clear crystals,
And I'm just ebbing away like a tide,
But no one cares and that saddens me.
Sickly crunch of bone and metal,
A black cloud streams around my eyes,
And I'm whispering one last word,
But no one's saying anything and that saddens me.
T'e crowd presses the yellow strip,
Iâm blinded by camera flashes,
And I'm tearing silently one last time,
But no oneâs beside me and that saddens me.
And I guess it's all over,
Too fast yet too agonising,
Once broken considered sold,
And now it really is over.
My body I leave to the gravedigger,
Sold at half the price,
Sold for a dime a pound of flesh,
Lower it into a velvet bed.
And I guess it's all over,
Too fast yet too agonising,
Once broken considered sold,
And now it really is over.
My soul I leave to the Devil,
Sold at half the price,
Sold for a dime a breathe of wisp,
Torture it for ever more.
And I guess it's all over,
Too fast yet too agonising,
Once broken considered sold,
And now it really is over.
My blood I leave to my few friends,
Sold at half the price,
Sold for a dime a pint,
To reminisce fond old memories.
And I guess it's all over,
Too fast yet too agonising,
Once broken considered sold,
And now it really is over.
My lonely heart I keep for myself,
For no one's willing to take it,
For no one's willing to treasure it,
For no one wants a rotten stone.
And I guess it's all over,
Too fast yet too agonising,
Once broken considered sold,
And now it really is over.
And I guess it's all finally over,
Too painful yet too quick for me,
Once broken considered sold,
I still have not accomplished it.
And I guess it's all finally over,
Too long yet too reluctant for me,
Once broken considered sold,
I still have one final thing to say to you.
And I guess it's all finally over,
Too much yet too little for me,
Once broken considered sold,
I still have one final thing I need to do.
And I guess it'' all over,
Too late yet too early for me,
Once broken considered sold,
I still want to see you one last time
But before I can I breathe my last.
And now, it really is over.
