Broken hearts/ from broken love/
That was meant to fill the half empty part of the glass/
Passing on down main street/
Dimmed eyes/ Jaded smiles/
Fading halos hanging over broken winged angels/
Passing on down main street/
And the loneliness from her broken nest/
Fills her heart with a fear that binds her wings/
If she closed her eyes she could be the wind/
Can you hear her soul crying/

Chorus:
Hear me/ help me/
Ninalia saidia saidia/
Ninalia saidia saidia/
Saidia/

Broken banks/ from broken backs/
Now broken dreams drowning in the shallow deep of their making/
Dragging on down main street/
And the preachers word/so often spoken/
Drags my shadow longer than the sun drags her rays across the earth/
Dragging on down main street/
He is frozen in a body that he barely understands/
Sinking in a life that he never even planned/
Hoping to receive with a closed fisted palm/
Can you hear his soul crying/

Repeat Chorus:

These calloused hands/ these blistered feet/
In this 2X4 I just don’t fit/
I’m sweating and chaffing in this cruel heat/
I’m lost and found in this broken beat/
I’m living to be so in/ dying to be so out/
When will these ends ever meet/
I’m huffing and puffing against this wall/
I need/I need to let go/

Repeat Chorus:
