Broken Man from ANIMALS EP by Albis

he's a broken man
cut by all this anger in his hands
carries all this hate
until his legs buckle under the weight

hurts the ones he holds most dear
thinks they’d rather see him disappear

in a fantasy
one where he forever sleeps

and the world still turns
just as it did when he hurt
but he sees her happy
living the life she used to lead

and that is all that matters now
for her to feel alive and bright somehow

not a fantasy
a daydream that he can make real

he’s still a broken man
standing tall he reaches down
claws the earth to beg
the sun to set down on this hallowed ground

stayed with the ones he holds most dear
and fought through his darkest fears

another fantasy
which one does the broken man make real?
