Are we broken?
Maybe, I don’t truly know.

But I do know that when she yells out, louder than the rest
She leaves my mother asking what she ever did wrong

He thinks they’re all going to hell because they haven’t found Jesus,
His Jesus, that is

Those smiles we wore were fake
And when I cried, it wasn’t for the woman in the ground

She’s ready to leave him
I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so please don’t tell

He’s flying clueless
In his last day hatefulness

The homily that Father Ed gave, he lied,
We knew it.

She’s queen matricharch now
At least that’s how she sees it

He’s holding them above water
Does he know what’s happening

“When the time came, it was peaceful,” that’s what we tell everyone,
No, it wasn’t, she fought it

She knew hate
Only when heads were turned

He’ll forever be the peacemaker
Steady solemn face, it was the worst for him

The last days were our redemption
For those who ask, they were

Are we broken?
I don’t want to know.
