Broke

[Verse 1]
Broke as a joke ain't much of a
Joke, 'cause it stings like smoke in the
Eye when you bring it too close by
Want another drag, never know why
Take me on a ghost ride, choke my
Pride, watch the hopes die
Smoke rise when the soul flies
But won't fly in the cold sky (that's why)

[Chorus]
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down

[Verse 2]
I wear grief like a bow tie
I buried you in cheap suit
You wear worthless on both sides
And torn rags you can see through
It must be you ain't fed right
I bleed blue not the red, white
I heard truth is a lead pipe
If I don't split then my head might

[Chorus]
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down

[Verse 3]
You've had me all wrong all along
Don't judge a book that ain't written yet
I must've come on too strong
Now you're standing there with frost-bitten flesh
How low can you go
I'm talking bout temperatures of snow
Ice storm and it's 40 below
That's the realm of the dead man's soul

[Chorus]
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down

[Verse 4]
Look me in the eye if you gonna lie
Let me down slow if you gotta go
Did you watch it die or did you walk by?
Guess you don't know 'cause you're too stoned
Ever seen a man leave his own shell?
Lose his own mind in his own hell?
Dirty little secret that you don't tell
All behind the doors of a hotel

[Chorus]
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down

[Verse 5]
Danger, danger
Move back 'fore my cool snap, who's that
Stranger, stranger
Tryin' to count these vultures but I lose track
Vapors, vapors
Follow holy smoke trails better use that
Anchor, anchor, or you might drift off on a new path

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe that ain't so wrong
Maybe that ain't so bad
Maybe fresh winds give a new spin
Maybe worst trip you ever had

[Chorus]
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down
Broke ain't meant to fix
Broke is your only way out
Broke ain't meant to fix
Catch a break 'til it's broken down
