Are You Broken or Just Broken-hearted?
You who are all knowing
I who am all willing
The one they call god
Are you all loving?
The one who cannot be healed
A broken stone
Are you caring?
Are you god?
Yesterday I was happy
Yesterday I was a fool
Why does increasing wisdom
Come with increasing pain
The further I go the weaker my heart gets
How much father until my heart breaks
Why is there so much pain
For such little a gain
When I am wise as the prophets
Will my heart explode
When I find the purest joy
What sorrows will be told
My name is the name of misery
my pain, the pain of centuries
lifetimes of sorrow have befallen me
tomorrow I will be only a memory
to you who are all knowing
are you also caring?
To you who are loving
Do you ease the pain of suffering?

I see your pain and I see you
How beautiful a nighttime gloom
From glory you came here
That tomorrow your joy may bloom
You agree with everything I’ve said
But you live in a world of regret
Words have loved me
And worlds have praised me
To you who are faithless
Are you faithful?
You who are joyless
Where is your joy?
How many lifetimes do you wish
How many seconds chances do you get
I once saved a child from death
I will again save a man from all that’s left
How many tears have you shed?
I tell you, this isn’t as bad as it gets.
You cry out for my attention?
You scream for a god’s help?
Don’t you know what they call me?
all knowing.
all willing.
all loving.
all healing.

What does it mean to be a man
And where does time go after the fallen sand
Who counts the steps that I take
Who writes down the letters of my mistakes
Can a god ever be real
Is there a peace I will ever feel?
I’ve known the different between being lonely
And being alone.
I’ve felt the pain from laughter
And the pain from gloom.
Is there a difference between depression
And being depressed?
Is there a difference between being loved
And being dismissed?
—
Are you broken
Or just broken-hearted?
Cry away girl, cry away
I’ve shed tears for your misery
Come with me girl, I know the way
Come with me and you’ll be ok
