Broken Mirror Blues

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Thick wool scratching on my neck

Watching cards fall from a crooked deck

Four empty chairs surround the kitchen wood

Maybe I was misunderstood

Maybe I stood where I should

Bitter taste of the garden rot

Pre-Chorus

Gray clouds move without a sound

Pulling heat right from the ground

Chorus

Fragile ghosts in the hallway light

Turning left instead of right

Walking slow past the open door

Treading light across the floor

I see your face in a mirror crack

Knowing you are not coming back

Every winter lasted much too long

Caught within a broken song

Instrumental

Verse 2

Rusted nails hold the heavy gate

Moving slow under iron weight

Coffee cups leave a drying ring

Birds out there refused to sing

Hollow shells on a dusty shelf

Losing track of my very self

Heavy water fills the rusted sink

Pre-Chorus

Broken shadows start to creep

Where the tired secrets sleep

Chorus

Stumbling through a silent house

Quiet as a hungry mouse

Searching drawers for a tattered thread

Wishing for the words you said

Clinging to a fading scent

Knowing where the money went

Morning mist is hanging far too low

Nowhere left for me to go

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Tell me how to start again

Tell me where the walls begin

Tell me why the sky is thin

Everything is turning pale

Life is just a hollow scale

Chorus

Tracing lines on a window pane

Listening to the sudden rain

Counting steps to the bottom stair

Breathing in the heavy air

No one answers when I call

Pictures leaning on the wall

Nothing feels the way it did before

Closing up the final door

Outro

I lost you

I lost me

Empty room

Set me free
