lyrics

Share Yourself Broken

Share yourself broken
beyond the barbwire fence of forgiveness.
Give your sorrow to the shining sun.
Drag the death of suffering down an empty street.
Ring the door bell and run.

Take the tremendous tenderness
that poisoned your childhood
and offer it as paint to the sky.
Take your problems out for a picnic.
Sit on the earth and go for a ride.

Ask your pain out on a date.
Laugh with flowers in his face
when he tells you “no.”
Dance all those silly fears away.
Walk into the night, take it slow.

Reveal your deepest secret.
Feel the islands of the world
smile all by themselves.
Frustrated instincts quietly searching,
call on inner angels for help.

Give your guilt to the stars
and wish it a safe travel home.
Write yourself a brand new story.
Look at the things inside you find ugly,
appreciate their glory.

Assign your sadness to art.
Create the most melodic music.
Travel to the trouble and remain open.
Realize there is never a reason to be afraid or embarrassed
to share yourself broken.
