Brother Ali - Haunted House lyrics
[Brother Ali - Haunted House lyrics]
Broken, broken broken, broken
Broken, broken
The foundation's, The foundation's
Broken, broken broken, broken
I knew love could be a sunrise
Make an old man see the world with young eyes
Round each corner discover he lies
Summertime, the world full of surprise
Every sunset so it start setting in
But, you will never see morning again
The flame that you had was
Now gone in the wind
Start to get old, feel bored with your friend
Your mind start to wander
Your eyes start to follow
And wind up on some young
Behind trying to holler
The dudes that you think are your
Guys ain't trying to stop you
They grab binoculars
Sit back and watch the opra
What she thought was hers you
Now share with another
And you and something got a
Secret you keep from her
Make her foolish for ever having trusted
Overcoming your shortcomings cuz
She loves you such a beautiful dawn and
We flow right along
So warm till the sun went down
Can the day rise again? I'd wait, my friend
But I don't know how
Don't want to leave but I don't want my
Demons to return and haunt this house
The foundation's, The foundation's broken
But, you know it's dead wrong that
I ain't never felt so right
The heart and the mind
They don't always coincide
Evil dig a ditch, he cover it with pride
He come to webilize we weave to try and hide
The truth is on a mission to
Make his way to the light
It knows it has it's right to take flight
The universal laws are too strong to fight
One day it's going to set
Up shop in plain sight
Time can ice the pain and
Try to hide the stain
And glue it back together yet
It's never quite the same
Even if she forgives you, she decide to stay
That memory live inside her
Until her dying day
She goes through the pages of
History with a heavy heart
Scratching question marks next to
All the precious parts
Your best memories start to develop scars
Would've never thought it'd ever
Fall apart but i use to find a hiding
Place inside you tight embrace
Now all I see in your face are my mistakes
Too much time I done placed around snakes
Saw the apple, had to know how it tastes
I acted out of ego, acted out of lust
Acted outside of the trust we had in us
I acted out a scene from a
Film I had seen before
Still casted myself in that leading role
When I was finished playing
I stood there saying "See?"
But there was no director yelling
"Cut" to keep it clean
The camera kept rolling and
Went behind the scenes
The bonus material from the DVD
The audience is watching
Yelling at the screen
Saying "Say it isn't so, please
Tell me it's just a dream"
I use to be the gleam in
Your eye but that died out
Now I'm that little streak of
White in your eyebrow
Broken, broken
The foundation's, The foundation's
Broken, broken broken, broken
I knew love could be a sunrise
Make an old man see the world with young eyes
Round each corner discover he lies
Summertime, the world full of surprise
Every sunset so it start setting in
But, you will never see morning again
The flame that you had was
Now gone in the wind
Start to get old, feel bored with your friend
Your mind start to wander
