Ballad of the Broken

[Chorus: Both]
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken

[Verse 1: Hayden Forbes]
An unbreakable bond
Between me and this song
But I feel something's wrong
What's going on?
Adrenaline rush but in the wrong way
Not doing much, but I’m nervous all-day
I’m shaking, I’m quaking
It’s my anxiety, what can I say?
Twisted thoughts of freaking nonsense
Need a doctor for my guilty conscience
That shouldn’t exist, it doesn’t make sense
Still holding up, picket fence
Did that make me sound corny?
Maybe you liked that line
But does that mean you like me?
I can’t decide, tectonic mind
Earthquaked since my first day on this earth mate (this earth mate)
Will wordplay bring nurse aid before my birthday? (my birthday)
Cause a couple of cheap shots could take me down
But then again who cares about me now
No love just judgment
Bullied, no repercussions
Tired all day but at night I’m an insomniac
Thinking of everything stupid mistake, why does it bring me back?
Regrets and mistakes sting me like a yellow jacket
But an overthinker freaking out is all I’ll ever be and that’s it

[Chorus: Both]
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken

[Verse 2: Jerrod Gander]
Ballad of the broken?
Outshine but I'm never outspoken
Age 15's when I started smokin'
Why?
Because I got anxiety
It runs inside of me
Matter of fact it's in my family tree
Now prepare to meet
The masked version of myself everybody's seen
I'm sick and tired of me
Tryin' to please everyone I meet
I mean honestly
My life's lookin' like a horror scene
It gets more obscene
The more morphine
I'm takin' every pill lookin' like a zombie
But I still got these bitches up on me
But I tell 'em get the fuck up off me
Here comes depression, it's my obsession
When I sit and reminisce about the days I miss
I'm tryna get stuck in a state of bliss
Under a trippy stage of psychosis
But I'm broken (I'm broken)
So hopeless (So hopeless)
Emotions I don't know how to cope with

[Post-Verse: Hayden Forbes]
Now listen
This message isn’t much, just take it as such
A blank face value for you to use
It's an open interp
Inspiring words
It’s what you deserve, what you deserve
I may not be there physically, but I’ll be there in emotion
And this track is the ballad of the broken

[Chorus: Both]
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
(Ahh, ahh)
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken

[Outro: Hayden Forbes & Jerrod Gander]
I know you're strugglin'
I know you might feel broken
But you're not!
You're strong people and I love every single one of you
And if you ever think about hurtin' yourself
