Name: Broken Down (Demo Series)
Duration: P00H03M30S
Description: Broken Down is the first in my Demo Series - tracks released before fully finished as an invitation to collaboration with other artists.

lyrics

Cool your jets girl

It’s not giving up girl

It’s just sitting out a round

You can’t fool your fiends girl

We’ve all been watching you

We know that you’re struggling

It’s not easy

To watch you be

Broken down

It’s not easy

To watch a friend be

Broken down

So take a breath boy

It’s okay to rest, boy

It’s okay to quiet down

Hush

I know you’re supposed to be so strong, boys

But for how long, boys

It’s too long already now
