Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the bird as it smashes into the ground.
It seems so innocent, but now I know
That once it is broken the flower won’t grow.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the conformist who blends in with the crowd.
We lead our lives with thoughtlessness and grace
Never thinking of what this endlessness might erase.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the demon trapped deep under ground.
For what sustains us, is our life,
Can only be the source of our strife.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the angel spotting sins abound.
We constantly break, and hear ourselves scream
While the people who broke us just continue to scheme.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the outcast who lies trashed and bound.
It’s the only sound I have ever heard
The thought that something else existed never occurred.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the leader who is widely renowned.
We hear it so often that without it we’re lost
And we don’t even think about at what cost.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the lost animal waiting to be found.
It is not as horrible as people might think
We live for it as if it is our life’s drink.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the prisoner as his life thread is unwound.
It unlocks our inner soul, you see
Only something that powerful can be the key.

Broken is a beautiful sound
Says the echo as it bounces around.
We are so used to hearing it rebound
Oh, yes, broken is a beautiful sound.
