Break Me

words & music by Brian E. Langston

the lights are out down at the harbor
the rain washes nothing away
the world becomes clearer
in a fog-covered, hazy sort of way

the waves, there are no waves
the sand is caked and torn by wind
I can see so many ways to break me into pieces
and there are so many reasons to begin

so why don't you begin, said why don't you begin
to break me into pieces so you can build me back again
so why don't you begin, said why don't you begin
to break me into pieces so you can build me back again

I guess I'll never understand the reasons
but it's the lesson where the trouble lies
the earth tells me that I should just surrender
but the breath tells me to give in to your eyes

Listen to a working version of the song...
