See that broken crying man?
It’s just me doing the best that I can
I loved her in light, stillness and sound
Drank deep in the fullness I’d found
Touched her, held her, became her breath
Sought the light through the door of death
Needed a reason, a risk to take
A game without rules has got no mistakes
See that broken crying man?
It’s just me doing the best that I can
One more time and then one more
To run and hide and enter her door
The angel falls, the chasm yawns
The rose reveals its grasping thorns
How could I know the voice I heed
Is the song of the siren’s lifeless need?
See that broken crying man?
It’s just me doing the best that I can
Fear the king, lies the pawns
Knights fallen, bloodied and torn
Bishops for power over-reached
Castles of trust, broken and breached
The queen with her comb, poison and lace
To drain the blood from the fairest face
See that broken crying man?
It’s just me doing the best that I can
I’ll stand by you, start again
So much to do, no time to defend
Bear a scar for courage shown
Signs of life more deeply known
See that broken crying man?
It’s just me doing the best that I can
