Transit in the Ryes - My Broken Back Lyrics

Don't you want to see what gold is left in the mines?
If that makes it any better for your broken mind
And I know you've made some wrong choices
But do you think that it matters in the long haul?

Do you need a sense of security?
And do you need a reset to the thoughts of futility?

'Cause I don't see you
Coming back from this unhinged
I would have quit if I were you
Leave your fainted heart at peace
With my broken back

Would you want to see the avalanche
Heading down towards us like a mowing machine?
It may be that things turn out to go south
It may take from you all the forces you've gathered until now

But you say "I won't cry"
I guess I've underestimated a boy's young mind

And I sure need the help of serenity
Like a calm before the storm

'Cause I don't see you
Coming back from this unhinged
I would have quit if I were you
Leave your fainted heart at peace
With my broken back

With my broken back
