Kaputt

Your dad is broken
But you’re not
Dented and twisted
And maybe not all there

But somewhere underneath
You’re strangely okay
Almost unscathed
Beneath all that hurts

I know you want to help
I know you’re upset
I know you want to run
I know you’re ashamed

It’s alright
Everyone should run who can
When you’re driving the getaway car
Buckle up

So much is broken
So much isn’t
Every shard
Reflects the light

So much is broken
But between the embers
Between ash and rubble
There was something good

Your mom is broken
But you’re not
You wear the same bandages
Layer upon layer

But somewhere underneath
You’ve long since healed
You’ve shared her wounds
For way too long

I know you want to help
But you don’t know how
I know you want to run
But you could never

It’s alright
Everyone should help who can
When you’re picking up the shards
Put on gloves

So much is broken
So much isn’t
Every shard
Reflects the light

But so much is broken
But between the embers
Between ash and rubble
There was something good

You found it
And you have to carry it
For yourself and for everyone
Who asks you about it

You found it
And you have to carry it
For yourself and for everyone
Who asks you about it

So much is broken
So much isn’t
Every shard
Reflects the light

So much is broken
But between the embers
Between ash and rubble
There was something good

So much is broken
So much isn’t
Every shard
Reflects the light

So much is broken
But between the embers
Between ash and rubble
There was something good
