lyrics

I heard Jack Stoney is dead
He fell asleep while he was walking on shattered glass
Couldn’t make peace with himself
It took a while but it always would bite his ass

Cuz he was working on dying
With all his nightmares it’s a shock he made twenty-four
And if you’re working on dying
It’s the quickest way to be reborn but

You’re shattered
You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart
You gotta believe
The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves
And it feels like you’ve broken your knees
You’re shattered

I heard that Grace bit the dust
Sought absolution for a sin they could not forgive
They made their bed with the Duke
And risked it all to take the over on Adelaide

And did you hear about Gregory?
He feared the unknown and it cost him his fear of sleep
And if you heard about Gregory
I know you’d hate to be impressed

But you’re shattered
You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart
You gotta believe
The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves
And it feels like you’ve broken your knees
You’re shattered

Your 15 minutes were the last in your paper cup
Happiness divides
Like the light in your eyes
I’d be patient if i wasn’t so shy
You’re shattered

And you can’t even fight it
You’ve got nothing to give but a invite to terrorize
And you detach your heart, you don’t care anymore
You left it all on the vicious floor

And you can’t even fight it
You take you’re lonely time and you run it all up the wall
But it’s not your fault, you know you can’t stop
You’re just waiting for the lanturn to drop
It’s shattered

I heard you’re speakers are blown
You took what’s left and you threw the rest in a cage
But if the city stays bright and you can put up a fight
Then i can take the time to spare you a light

But you’re shattered
You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart
You gotta believe
The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves
And it feels like you’ve broken your knees
You’re shattered

You take all of your lonely time and you run it all up the wall
You’re finding a way
It’s all work and no play
And you’re turning all your nights into day
You’re shattered
