Shattered
(Crooks-Tani)
-----------------------------
I met a man, needled & inked
every other day for a year,
Tattooed gods from head to toe
he was shattered don’t I know
When you’re shattered,
there isn’t one place
When you’ve shattered
and fallen from grace
When you’re shattered,
there isn’t one place –you won’t go
How did this happen? How did he get through?
All he had seen and all that he knew unraveled
and then he came unfurled
Waving to all, he waived off the world
He was shattered –don’t I know
Chorus
The quiet rage, the losing score
His buckled knees, and esprit de corps
His broken self becomes decor
Like mirror shards across the floor
Sugar skulls, more fragile than eggs
Crack the shells –the question begs
When you’re shattered that’s how it goes
When you’re shattered, don’t I know
When you’re shattered, don’t I know |
