"Broken Jaw" lyrics

"Broken Jaw"

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting further from my memories
And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight, I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You tell me, "What's my name?"
I'm the same, I've just been rearranged
Smile through a joke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well, I had been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me
And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight, I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down
Yeah, you're pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it, yeah
Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
Climbing over people 'cause I've been blinded
I'm waiting, I'm waiting around

Sometimes you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopeless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
And I, I know why
I know why, I know why

But you said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"

Just take it away, yeah
When you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
Lyin' near where I slayed my hero, yeah, yeah
What you need is higher than your shame
