Dead Echo - Broken By Design Lyrics

When my hands shake, I close my eyes
'Cause the only place where I feel safe is deep inside
But if I just push it all down I'll be buried alive
I don't think I'm okay, maybe I'm just Broken By Design
It's like I'm Broken By Design
Nothing left of me to behold
When did I become so cold
I loved everybody else because I never loved myself
(I'm no good on my own, can't you tell?)
'Cause I thought if I could fix somebody else
Then maybe I could escape my own Hell
But with half a step forward
Comes one hundred steps back
This house is ablaze 'cause the matches know my name
May the fire return me to ash
I dreamt of blood when I dreamt of redemption
The callouses on my fingers and my soul do no justice
We were supposed to be two-of-a-kind with fates intertwined like the stars in the fucking sky
I know I'm not alone
But the memory, it chills me to the bone
Swept away by the undertow
Never let me go
Never let me go
When my hands shake, I close my eyes
'Cause the only place where I feel safe is deep inside
But if I just push it all down I'll be buried alive
I don't think I'm okay, maybe I'm just Broken By Design
As the years go by
My life in endless night
The tears go dry
Broken But Bright
Is this my sad little life?
When I go to the other side
Will you judge me for how I fucking suffered in life
For if I die before I wake
I fucking pray THERE'S
NO
MORE
PAIN

When my hands shake, I close my eyes
'Cause the only place where I feel safe is deep inside
But if I just push it all down I'll be buried alive
I don't think I'm okay, maybe I'm just Broken By Design
It's like I'm Broken By Design
Nothing left of me to behold
When did I become so cold
I loved everybody else because I never loved myself
(I'm no good on my own, can't you tell?)
'Cause I thought if I could fix somebody else
Then maybe I could escape my own Hell
But with half a step forward
Comes one hundred steps back
This house is ablaze 'cause the matches know my name
May the fire return me to ash
I dreamt of blood when I dreamt of redemption
The callouses on my fingers and my soul do no justice
We were supposed to be two-of-a-kind with fates intertwined like the stars in the fucking sky
I know I'm not alone
But the memory, it chills me to the bone
Swept away by the undertow
Never let me go
Never let me go
When my hands shake, I close my eyes
'Cause the only place where I feel safe is deep inside
But if I just push it all down I'll be buried alive
I don't think I'm okay, maybe I'm just Broken By Design
As the years go by
My life in endless night
The tears go dry
Broken But Bright
Is this my sad little life?
When I go to the other side
Will you judge me for how I fucking suffered in life
For if I die before I wake
I fucking pray THERE'S
NO
