Dead And Broken Lyrics

A deep dark secret
Down at the bottom of this drink
Can't keep it
I've forgotten it

A story that was told
As I worked harder than we ever wished to be
Me, I'm burning

I'll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor
The talking twine and the weights that sank her
They weren't enough to shut up a blue light's head is shining through
Illuminating you

As we lay side by side
Dead and broken
Our lives aren't the same since the night yours was stolen
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight
Your lover's blood ran cold
Cutting off the hands I used to hold

A deep dark secret
Down at the bottom of this drink
Can't keep it
I've forgotten of the story that was told
As I worked harder than we ever want to be
Me, I'm burning

Side by side
Dead and broken
Our lives aren't the same since the night yours was stolen
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight
Your lover's blood ran cold
Cutting off the hands we used to hold

Hold..........hold............hold
We used to hold

That's what the insert of the Promo says:

A deep dark secret down at the bottom But this bay can’t keep it unforgotten. And a story that was told has now grown taller than we’d ever wish to be Beyond belief… I’ll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor, The tarp and twine and the weights that sank her. They weren’t enough look who showed up A new light is shining through. Illuminating you as we lay Side by side, dead and broken Our lives aren’t the same since the night yours went stolen. Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover’s blood ran cold, Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

yeah these lyrics are fucked, the promo insert ones are right on tho

well i know this song is talking about him killing a girl and the tarp he used to wrap her + the weights to sink her weren't enough to keep her underwater and she floated up and was exposed by the moonlight, blah blah, what the hell does this song really mean? it's tough trying to figure the perpective. maybe it's another song relating to julie or FYA? or just a random one?

Cover art for Dead And Broken lyrics by Alkaline Trio

are you kidding? those lyrics are so off it's not even funny... open your ears and listen along a little better next time

Cover art for Dead And Broken lyrics by Alkaline Trio

wow, those lyrics are way long. haha. anyway, i heard on the trio message boards that the song is about laci peterson (scott peterson killing her, and all). i don't know if that's right, but it seems entirely plausible to me considering matt lives in the bay area and all...
