[Verse 1]
Salute the army at hell's hand
Salute the reasons why
My conscience, it wakes me
With fire inside, I'll never get out
I'll never make my stand
[Chorus]
And when I awake
I'm not about to listen to them
For I can't wait
It's not about me
[Verse 2]
Stare down the longest line
Of course this is falling apart
You fooled me like a rat trap baited
But I refuse to bote
I'm shell-shocked and I've lost my sight
But I can still hear you callin' me
[Chorus]
And when I awake
I'm not about to listen to them
For I can't wait
I'm not about to listen to—
[Refrain]
I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to the end
I'm on a highway that leads to—
[Bridge]
These broken bones, this busted smile
My head, it hurts, I should be leavin' now
I hear your words, they call my name
I won't go back, you must be out of your head
[Outro]
You say I'm wrong, you say I'm mad
If I stay here, I'll never make it back
I hear your words, they call my name
I won't go back, you must be out of your head
You must be out of your head

Adam Spark said the following about the song in an exclusive Track-By-Track interview for Australian music magazine The Music, published on November 4, 2015:
I think “Broken Bones” was probably the first truly epic song we had written. It’s a really sort of wide song. We recorded the guitars one no...
