When It's Broken and Dead

Sing into the night
With your voice all broken and dead
Out the window of an old mobile home
With glass panes that roll out on rusty hinges
Push the screen to the dirty ground below
Your little arms hanging from the cold, sharp edges
And sing hard, until your body is broken and dead
All the neighborhood kids with their dirty faces
Will look to the skies just to see you fly away
Just to hear you cry out things they’d never believe
Sing and fly into a heaven that’s broken and dead
Because when Mommy’s new man hears you
It’ll be all kinds of hell to pay
So sing now while the beast still sleeps
And pray tomorrow you have a soul to give away
Pray for a soul that’s broken and dead
That it might not feel the pain you’ve still yet to face.
