lyrics

Look at the brokenness in us
How lonely is this city, now a widow become
She was a princess, but friends fell away
tears her bitter children, fire in her bone.

Look look look,
does anyone see?
Is any pain like my pain
a wound
as deep as deep
as deep as the sea
Sorrow on sorrow

Look at the brokenness in you
Your downfall applauded, your nakedness bare
Festivals and fortunes of dust and debris
Wanderer of roads trod deep with despair

Look at the brokenness in me
Walled in with a lion, a desolate mark
A temple invaded by armies my own
Rebellion the rampart, ruin the bars

Witness,
give me your cheek
Silence, when sentenced
alone
Listen,
mouth to the dust
Bear together, that we may hope.
