Testo di Broke Wide Open

Just one quick glance was all that it took Trapped in your stare of judgement As we pass each other on the street And I look into your robot eyes as you make your careful calculations I choke on your perfume as you file me into lower class The moment stretches as I hear the cries of everyone That you have stepped on so many throats Bled dry to get to who you are today A lifetime spent swinging the sharpest of knives Oh how I'd like to take it all away One twitch of the finger one moment of heart felt compassion Break you wide open Stare straight through your center A lifetime spent with so little sweat That nothing in you grew nothing but vanity and twisted wires From a rusted heart that slightly resembles a cash register Just one look that says it all While you figure out just what I'm worth And that's the best that you've got That and a thousand dollar handbag How'd I like to wash it all away There is a middle in you somewhere Break it open For the world to see one quick beautiful violent motion A lifetime spent swinging the sharpest of knives And you wonder why I am so obsessed with guns
