Broken and Bad

Smiles get shattered and senses get slaughtered Reduced into rawness...made to beg, steal, and borrow Fools they follow fiends straight into lakes of fire No sunshine for the sick and the sad No good times to be had Hurts they heal slow when you're broken and bad Take it all wrong...singing that song and turning on time Dropped hard like a dime Turning goodness into greed Spreading savage seeds Turning water into whiskey...Hellbent and gut rotten Fallen and forgotten Once upon a time a heart you once had Hurts they heal slow when you're broken and bad Success is a skeleton choking on societies skin While paranoid preachers speak about phantom pleasure that turns into pain Deranged and damaged and straight down the drain Running wild in the rain Soaked to the soul...now stolen and sold and gone like a ghost Reaching for roses and tangled in thorns Sinking in the sand...no help from a helping hand Hurts they heal slow when you're broken and bad
