Lyrics Brother Ali

Brother Ali

Haunted House

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 its 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 its right to take flight

The universal laws are too strong to fight

One day its 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

[Hook x2]
