"Born To Be Broken" lyrics

"Born To Be Broken"

I bow down to hunger and I'm poisoned by sex
My mind can't tell the difference between a phone screen and the girl in my bed
And I'm full of hate 'cause my brain won't stop replaying all my regrets
I spend my days mixing overthinking with drinking 'til I'm lost in my head

I was born to be broken, I never stood a chance
I tried crawling out, but the closer I get
The walls just grow higher so I just let go
My home's at the bottom with mom and dad both
We smoke all our cigarettes and curse at the sun
It seems like it shines down on everyone but us

I bow down to hunger and I'm swallowed by sleep
I'm scared to death, if God's real, He'll have mercy on everyone but me
What if I never become the father I wished mine would be?
What if I do everything to change and can't escape the worst versions of me?

I was born to be broken and I never stood a chance
I tried crawling out, but the closer I get
The walls just grow higher so I just let go
My home's at the bottom with mom and dad both
So we smoke all our cigarettes and curse at the sun
Seems like it shines down on everyone but us

I was born, born to be broken
I was born, born to be broken

So pour down a double 'cause I ain't got healthcare
Fill up my lungs with anything but fresh air
I drown in caffeine to flip off the nightmares
Tomorrow I'll change, Lord, I swear, but tonight
Pour down a double 'cause I ain't got healthcare
Fill up my lungs with anything but fresh air
Drown in caffeine to flip off the nightmares
Tomorrow I'll change, Lord, I swear
So pour down a double 'cause I ain't got healthcare
Fill up my lungs with anything but fresh air
Drown in caffeine to flip off the nightmares
Tomorrow I'll change, Lord, I swear

I was born, born to be broken
I was born, born to be broken
