Broken

[Hook]
I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

[Verse 1]
Punching all the walls until my knuckles bleed
Disrespecting my parents, every time that I speak
If this is how it goes, if this is how it be
Then the pain I feel is real, the devil is inside of me!
Friends being fake, the truth is being told
This bad self-esteem is really getting old
I want to succeed and follow my dreams
The path looks bright, but nothing's ever as it seems
What I believe is, everything I touch falls apart at the seams
I'm tryin' to be the best that I can be
It's really hard when hate makes you change your mind
It's hard to find true love when I see that it's all a lie
Nothing is clear to me, maybe I should go
I've shown everybody here all I've ever known
All that I've known is shown in the way that I have grown
Actions speak louder than words, that's how it goes 'cause

[Hook]
I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

[Verse 2]
Why is responsibility given
When all the work I put in is given in participation ribbons?
Roof over my head and food on the table
Grandfather working hard so we can afford cable
Works 8 to 5, comes home and relaxes
He sees a giant bill says, "How could this happen?"
Goes to his computer and completes the transaction
Comes back to relax like nothing ever happened
Gas and water bill so high!
This is how we treat him for working 8 to 5?!
We're not even grateful for how hard that he tries
It's like all his work is given in disguise
Bullies at school saying magic is lame
Maybe I should just quit, if I can't entertain
All you females, you need to stop playing games
Guys try to pursue but all you give them is pain 'cause

[Hook]
I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

[Interlude]
Ahh! Why does everything I do have to be bad?!
All it does is make me really mad!
I want to do better, show my family that I can do it
The choice was up to me and as it turns out, I blew it
I tried to do it, but the real truth is...
I hate myself to much, I don't believe that I can do it
You got to believe in yourself

[Hook]
I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout

I'm straight broken, choking on my feelings
Theatre keeps me going, but nothing gives me healing
I know God lives, if he's up there, he should help me out
I've done all I could, all I want to do is scream and shout
