Broached Songtext
von Warwick Kennedy

Night stretched like a canvas
Along the breadth of the sky
A starless blanket
Up the sleeve of this silence
Is something more strident
Waiting
To set the record straight
And I′ve run out of words to say

Broached our dejection
These cuffs chafe
Straight to the bone
And here in self-loathing
I'll lap at your heel
Like the tide laps the shore

Draped from my shoulders this blanket soaked heavy in shade
And obscuring my beauty this silence fashioned into a veil


With every road, a corner
With every turn, a back
Laid open bare
Re-direct the knives from Caesar!
Inform Judas to shift his crosshair!
These cuffs are chains on my skin
This blanket is an impenetrable, indulgent armor

Broached our dejection
These cuffs chafe
Straight to the bone
And here in self-loathing
I′ll lap at your heel
Like a dog

Perched here besides me
Earth risen, underneath sunken sky
You brandish a question
And pierce through all
I've subscribed
