Fragments (Brownstein/Battat)
Fragments of my bursted mind scattered on their own
Refracting back my intent beneath the skin and bone
Are buried with the fossils and left their on their own
I held a fortune in my hand it used to shine like gold
But I forgot what value meant when I did what I was told
My riches turned to worthless sand my fingers couldn’t hold
When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game
It’s easy to forget from where you came
The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray
Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way
I saw a man in my backyard he held a wooden sign
He told me to come out there he had something that was mine
He said we both could have freedom that’s when I shut the blinds
I met a girl the other day she loved a rundown man
She said she had no worries he does the best he can
But I said I could do better that’s when she let go of my hand
When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game
It’s easy to forget from where you came
The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray
Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way
I sat down at the table to write down my final thoughts
My pen couldn’t ink a word it seems that I forgot
What it is I needed and everything I want
When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game
It’s easy to forget from where you came
The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray
Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way
