lyrics

I’ll do my best to help you understand
How to survive in this broken land
We’ve got enough bad news here to make you sick
You still want me to fill you in?

The streets are owned by lady killers and drug dealers and clowns
Follow the sirens to find someone

High and low
Hot and cold
In a crash, in a crash , in a crash, in a crash that happened so fast.

Inside the wreckage is a broken man
Inside the wreckage is a broken man
I’ll do my best to help you understand
Inside the wreckage is a broken man

A hope so frail that it could break in the wind
What a mess that he’s found himself in
It’s happened so many times you think he’d learn from it
Doing all they can just to pull him from the crash

The phones will glow with news feeds and panic that you will follow
The news reads it-self while you’re

High and low
Hot and cold
It’s a hard, a hard, a hard pill to swallow

Inside the wreckage is a broken man
Inside the wreckage is a broken man
I’ll do my best to help you understand
Inside the wreckage is a broken man
